Who would murder of a good Catholic girl?
Murder, She Uncovered by Peg Cochran is an eye-opening historical mystery filled with well-developed characters and 1930s New York City filled with amazing textures. I loved the mystery and the insights into the prejudice, social differences, and upper society expectations.
Elizabeth Adams
Elizabeth is the newly promoted crime photographer for the Daily Trumpet newspaper in New York City, and she is our sleuth. She is also a socialite and lives at home in her parents' posh townhouse. Elizabeth has a little of both worlds right now, but how long will she be able to maintain that balance?
I found that Elizabeth has compassion and purpose. Yet, sometimes she feels sickened by the macabre of the photos that she takes on the crime beat. She also seems to have this need to help people that aren’t as fortunate as herself.
Elizabeth works with the reporter, Kaminsky. She has learned so much from him and feels obligated to help him to not be pushed out due to his age.
I really liked Elizabeth, with her politeness, determination, and clever mind. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
Mystery
The mystery was well thought out, and the clues were there. We had multiple suspects with different motives, but not everyone had the opportunity. I liked the way that the social injustices, prejudices, mental illness, disabilities, and racism played through the story. It reminded me that it is better now than then, but not much as you would think it should be.
5 Stars for Murder, She Uncovered by Peg Cochran
My rating for Murder, She Uncovered by Peg Cochran is five stars. I loved the entirety of the story. I wouldn’t change a thing. I highly recommend this book to all the historical cozy mystery readers out there.
