A Body at the Dance Hall

London Ladies' Murder Club, Book 3

De: Marty Wingate

Narrado por: Naomi Frederick

Mabel Canning – super sleuth, organiser extraordinaire and founder of the London Ladies’ murder club – is looking forward to an evening out. But soon there’s murder on the dance floor…

1922. Ladies’ assistant Mabel Canning is delighted to accompany young heiress Roxy to a glamorous ballroom event. When she arrives, Mabel can’t wait to practice her foxtrot skills. But a mysterious man warns her that Roxy is in danger. And he’s dead before the music stops...

After a narrow escape, Roxy stumbles into Mabel’s arms with her daffodil-yellow dress splashed with blood. Never one to rely on the police, Mabel swiftly gathers the murder club ladies on a hunt for clues. Can they catch the killer before they strike again?

Soon Mabel realises there were many suspicious characters waltzing around the dance floor. Ned Kettle may have looked dashing, but what was a notorious thief doing tango-ing the night away? Why was the sweaty ballroom manager acting so jumpy? And what secrets in Roxy’s past might make someone turn to murder?

Then Roxy is kidnapped, and Mabel comes cheek to cheek with the killer. Can she save poor Roxy, or has she danced her last dance?

A delightfully witty and utterly addictive whodunnit absolutely bursting with 1920s sparkle, from USA Today bestselling author Marty Wingate. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Richard Osman, Verity Bright and T.E. Kinsey.

Great book

I Love this series. I’m glad I stumbled upon it while looking for other books of its kind.

A Lovely Cozy Mystery

Ms Wingate's stories capture the reader's attention right off with amazing characters who keep evolving until we realize things are not as they seem. EXCELLENT narration which empowered the story to move swiftly, so much so I listened in one sitting.

Great Story. Great Performance.

What I love about this entire series is that the storylines don’t feel contrived. They are interesting, and the characters are well developed. There are some definite anachronistic elements – – modern opinions about certain social issues that creep in to the stories. But that is my only complaint. the series has been quite enjoyable and I look forward to future books.

Love this series

Didn’t disappoint,another great read from the Lady’s murder club, excellent narrator and the plot was gripping. Waiting in anticipation for the next one in the series.
