Murder at Elm House is the 6th book in the historical mystery cozy series by Helena Dixon. Released 7th June 2021, it's 238 pages and is available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free.
This is an engagingly entertaining historical mystery set in the interwar period in England. Kitty and her companion Matthew are drawn into skullduggery and murder at an upscale convalescent home in the countryside. There are several disparate subplot threads which entwine to a (mostly) satisfying denouement and resolution.
This is a consistently well written and entertaining modern English mystery series set in the 1930s with well wrought characters and clever plots. The dialogue is well written and never clunky or overwrought. The dialogue is modern, and there are anachronisms, but overall it's a readable and quite enjoyable cozy series.
Well worth a look for cozy mystery lovers.
Four stars.
