Murder in the Alps

1920s High Society Lady Detective Mystery, Book 8

De: Sara Rosett

Narrado por: Elizabeth Klett

A cold-blooded killer lurks in the luxurious winter wonderland of St. Moritz . . .

Switzerland, 1924. Lady sleuth Olive Belgrave is set to enjoy a holiday of ice skating and snowshoeing in the glamorous alpine setting of St. Moritz, but her plans are rudely interrupted when an unfortunate accident takes place. It quickly becomes clear that the tragic event was a carefully concealed murder.

Olive isn’t one to shy away from a challenge, and with her sharp intuition and knowledge of the high society set, she uncovers motives among the elite guests. However, this case is one of the most challenging she’s faced.

Her suspects include a famous lady mountaineer, an up-and-coming fashion designer, a mousy lady’s maid, and several gentlemen sportsmen who seem to be only interested in tobogganing, ice-climbing, and the new sport of skiing down the mountain slopes. Can Olive find the cunning killer and solve the impossible crime before it’s too late?

If you enjoy puzzling mysteries set among the glitz and glamour of the 1920s, you’ll enjoy Murder in the Alps, the latest installment of USA Today bestselling author Sara Rosett’s High Society Lady Detective series.

A Typical Installment

If you like the series, then you will like this book. It’s a fast listen. I thought it took a little long to get to the central story, but once there Olive handled it with her typical analytical methods. Looking forward to the next installment.

I love Olive!

While I’m not a huge fan of this narrator, I enjoy Olive’s cases and love Sara Rosett’s writing! This was a great winter cozy mystery.

High Society fan

Good High Society series sequel with Olive and Jasper as new dynamic duo of mysteries

Interesting

I like how olive doesn’t make stupid Decisions to endanger her life and asks Jasper for help. They do work well together and look forward to hearing more in the continuing saga of Olive and Jasper

My favorite book in this series!!

I absolutely love this series of books, but Murder in the Apls is by far the BEST! It honestly kept me guessing until the end. I pride myself on always figuring out the culprit but this one was definitely a brain twister. I also appreciate how Sara Rosett always stays true to the time with her vocabulary and settings. I’ve listened to many other books based on the 1920’s that don’t and it takes away. You really get lost in the era with this series and I adore that.
I highly highly recommend BUT start from the beginning.

Excellent

So good but I am so sad! Will have to wait for more! All I can say to the author is please write quickly’. Love this series

Great!

Love this series, good characters, very cozy. Love the narration as well. Note for production - too long of a pause in between end of chapter and next chapter. Sometimes I thought audible crashed.

it is snowing here and in the book

Good story, enough twist and turn to listen at one time. Narrator good. Enjoying all of this series.

Highly recommend

I really like the personalities of Olive and Jasper. The way they communicate with each other is encouraging. Its good to
Hear couples who don’t lie or deceive each other or play silly games but are honest

Awkward Style, Plot Holes

Characterization was particularly poor in this installment, and the storyline barely held up through the book. it felt like the author cared more about exploring St. Moritz than writing a plot and having scenes and characters fit into it in a satisfying way. there was no motive for the murder and I was disappointed to have been sure of the solution from the beginning. It flows easily and is a pleasant read, but a moment's pause is enough to realize just how much this book is missing.
