Murder on the Dance Floor

A Completely Gripping Historical Cozy Mystery (A Miss Underhay Mystery)

By: Helena Dixon

Narrated by: Alex Tregear

Kitty Underhay’s dance card is full...of death.

November 1933. Amateur sleuth-cum-dutiful granddaughter Kitty Underhay stifles a sigh of boredom as she attends the annual Hoteliers' Association Dinner and Dance on behalf of her grandmother, the proprietress of the Dolphin Hotel. She hopes the company of ex-army captain Matthew Bryant will enliven the otherwise dull evening. That is, until bullish and overbearing local councilor Harold Everton drops dead into his bowl of consommé.

While the local police are still scrambling for their whistles, Kitty and Matt waste no time leaping into action. Soon they find themselves caught up in a dangerous search to uncover who among the distinguished guests used cyanide for seasoning.

When their digging throws light on a corruption scandal brewing in the local council involving Everton’s assistant, Thomas King, they are sure they’ve cracked the case. But before he can be questioned further, King’s body is found in a smoldering car wreck. Meanwhile, the murderer has made a sinister plan to avoid detection or punishment, and it will lead Kitty and Matt into a dangerous dance with death....

A fast, fun Golden Age cozy murder mystery, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

Story continues

While the stories are getting better, the narrator is not.

Alex Tregear does an excellent job with most of the voices including the older men, there is an issue with Matt. He often sounds too feminine and I have to try to determine who is talking.

Interesting mystery and fun characters

This is wonderful escapism. The characters are lively and distinct. The narrator does a good job of separating the voices. It is much like a Hallmark movie.

What a read

Interesting developments came about in this book. Some made me smile and some made me feel terrible. Matt and Kitty are actually so adorable you can’t help but love them!

Great

The Mystery of Kitty’s mother is solved. Or is it? Another murder mystery with lots of red herrings and interesting characters! Excellent narration as usual!
