A Matter of Love and Death by Carmen Radtke
4.0
This is very much what I would class as a cosy mystery.
I really enjoyed the era that the story is set in. It very much brought to life what living in that time would be like. The way people dress, how they lived and how the cinema and dances were all the rage.
There are quite a few likeable characters in the story. The main ones for me though were Frances and her Uncle Sal. The relationship between both made this novel even more worth while reading as it was really sweet to read. Jack is also great and was quite envious of Frances as he oozes sex appeal as well as being strong and manly.
For people who like a good mystery without the dark elements of a crime book, this is the perfect read. There was a nice balance of normal life as well as the build up of the crime. It is very much a tale of mystery and suspense with a great cast of characters.
A Matter Of Love And Death is a story that will transport you to the other side of the world as well as taking you into the heart of life in the 1930’s. A great read for people who like a combination of romance and a good old mystery to solve.
