‘Murder at the Charity Ball’ is Book 11 in Helena Dixon’s the Miss Kitty Underhay series of historical cosy mysteries set in 1930s Devon. As always I combined reading with its unabridged audiobook edition, narrated by Karen Cass.
Each book deals with a central mystery and so can be read as a stand-alone, though reading in order does allow for an appreciation of its characters’ development along with ongoing supplemental storylines.
December 1934. Kitty Underhay is attending a charity ball at Villa Lamora, the lavish home of Lady Eliza Foxley. The annual event is in aid of the Seafarers’ Widows and Orphans Fund and is a highlight of the local social season
Kitty is excited to see her father, the roguish Edgar Underhay, who has recently travelled from New York to Devon in order to walk her down the aisle. He and the fun-loving Lady Foxley became chummy during the voyage and she invited him to stay at the house as her guest.
There’s plenty of champagne, music, and dancing though before the end of the evening there’s also a murder! Inspector Greville is on the case though in the past he has often arrested the wrong person. When suspicion falls on Edgar, Kitty and Matthew, her private detective fiancé, vow to clear his name. No further details to avoid spoilers.
Having followed this series from its beginning, it has consistently proved entertaining with plenty of period detail to set the mood. I also appreciate that rather than solving case after case and hitting reset, there has been real changes in Kitty’s circumstances.
Overall, ‘Murder at the Charity Ball’ proved another delightful cosy and I definitely will be looking forward to further investigations by Kitty and Matthew.
