A Study In Murder - A Review

A Study In Murder

by

Callie Hutton

A fun trip to Bath, England, during the years prior to WWI, A Study in Murder explores the city and the culture of Victorian England while leading the main characters and the readers through an intriguing murder mystery.

Lady Amy Lowell stumbles (literally) on her ex-fiancé’s body in the library of her home. Though those who know her know she was incapable of murder, the police are not convinced. She will need to work with Lord William Wethington and members of her household staff to identify the actual murderer.

Now Lady Amy Lowell is not afraid of exploring the uncomfortable side of crime as her chosen occupation is that of a mystery author. Unbeknownst to the members of her book club, she has written several of the mysteries they have read in the past. With the knowledge gained through researching her stories, she is well-equipped to investigate the murder of Mr. Ronald St. Vincent, her ex-fiancé.

Though I expect a visit to Bath is outside my budget, Callie Hutton presents an inviting city that would be worth taking the time to explore; hopefully, without a murder charge hanging over my neck. To those with an interest in Victorian England, cozy mysteries, and colorful, believable characters, this new book from an experienced author will be an enjoyable read. The first book in a new series, A Study in Murder becomes an excellent opportunity to discover a new favorite story-teller.
