Murder in the Air

The Augusta Peel Mysteries, Book 2

By: Emily Organ

Narrated by: Sarah Nichols

Is airship travel safe? Not if there’s a killer on board.

When business magnate Robert Jeffreys announces his investment in airships, he hosts a promotional flight for a group of reporters. Working undercover in the crew is retired spy Augusta Peel. She’d rather be working on her book repair business, but Inspector Fisher of Scotland Yard has persuaded her to help with a surveillance operation.

The press trip on the airship takes a turn when a body is found in a cabin. Augusta now has a new challenge on her hands. Can she identify the murderer? It’s tricky to find a motive among the sophisticated passengers—some of them are sophisticated liars, too.

Events escalate when a second death occurs. The airship murderer is covering their tracks. Augusta faces a race against time before the culprit tracks her down and silences her too.

Very entertaining

Really enjoyed this one. Good story line and definitely like Ms Peel’s character. Look forward to hearing more by this author.

Fun

Like the historical information at the end. Fun listen. Nice to listen to while doing chores or a walk

The main character reminded me of Miss Marple, my favorite sleuth.

Even though I had assumed his assistant was the culprit there were other logical suspects to keep me guessing.

Good mystery

The mystery was hard to unravel and therefore pretty good. Point of view switches randomly, but it was still easy to follow. Narration was good, although sometimes the male and female voices were similar. The historical notes at the end are very interesting.
