\u00a0<\/b>Today we have the first in a new historical cozy crime series, The Detection Club. The Case of the Christie Conspiracy <\/i>by Kelly Oliver<\/b>\u00a0 is published today by Boldwood Books<\/b>.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Agatha Christie is about to embark on a new, gripping murder
\ncase. But this time, she\u2019s not the author \u2013 she\u2019s a suspect\u2026<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1926 <\/b>\u2013 Christie is a darling of the literary circuit and the
\nmost desired guest in London\u2019s glittering social scene. She can often be found
\nat meetings of the Detection Club \u2013 where mystery writers come together to
\nshare ideas, swap secrets and drink copiously. But then a fellow author’s
\ninitiation ceremony takes a gruesome turn, and one of the group ends up dead.
\nNow, Agatha is no longer just the creator of great mystery plots \u2013 she\u2019s a
\nplayer in one.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when Agatha disappears the day after the murder, she\u2019s
\nwidely assumed to be guilty. Only Eliza Baker, assistant to the Club\u2019s
\nenigmatic secretary, Dorothy Sayers, is interested in investigating the case.
\nBut in a world where murder is the ultimate plot device, can Eliza piece
\ntogether the evidence and find the killer before it\u2019s too late?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>This is a great start to a promising series which kept me guessing for quite a while. I enjoyed getting to grips with the two central characters who are multi – layered. You find out a little about their backgrounds as the story developed but there are still things to discover, I am sure and the story ends on a tantalising point. Quirky, determined, clever and self- deprecating- these traits apply to both Theo and Eliza and the chemistry between them is undeniable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As all good historical novels, the period is captured perfectly through the events and the domestic details. Even the dialogue points to a time gone by. I loved how the story revolved around a mix of fictional and real- life people, with events from their lives woven into the story. You even feel that you are living through an Agatha Christie story with the reveal to a chosen group adhered to. Each of the members of the Detection Club add colour and life to the story. This is a must for all lovers of cozy crime!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In short: paxy entertaining reading full of the period
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
