Murder at the Priory Hotel: A totally gripping cozy historical mystery: 4 (A Flora Steele Mystery) Paperback – Import, 8 July 2022

We are back at Priory Hotel, but the book keeps the case interesting. Despite the same setting (as in the first book), the story doesn’t feel repetitive or boring.Flora and Jack have a slight change of characters, with Jack being more eager to solve the crime. Of course, we need Flora to find the clues for us.The writing seemed a little slower than in the previous books. It could also be that I was more tired (which I was), and that affected my reading.We have enough red herrings and suspects in this one, but the danger quotient is slightly less. I like how it has been incorporated into the story.There’s a development in Flora and Jack’s friendship, and I’m hoping it will continue in the coming books.As always, we meet the recurring characters, and some of them have developments in their lives. I always like it when side characters’ lives are also given importance.The book works as a standalone. There are references to previous cases, though none of them affect the current case.To sum up, Murder at the Priory Hotel is a light cozy mystery and a little less dangerous than the previous ones. Looking forward to the next book.Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture, for the eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book.

I enjoyed the journey with a more developed variety of characters. It was a little different from the previous books as the two main characters were less involved .

great mystery and easy to read

I am thoroughly enjoying this series, the setting of a village post war really works with characters innocent and of the time. If you enjoy a cosy mystery in a bygone era and have read all of Agatha Christie's then I would highly recommend this series.

bin nochh am Lesen. Ist aber sehr gut.

A great read, one you don't want to put down.
