I read a lot of books and with so many great reads coming out, it's hard to keep up. I get behind in series without even realizing it!. Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on one such series. I read the first and today I discovered the sixth book in the series will be released this week. The book? Murder at the White Palace by Allison Montclair.
Blurb:
In post-WWII London, the matchmakers of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau are involved in yet another murder.
In
the immediate post-war days of London, two unlikely partners have
undertaken an even more unlikely, if necessary, business venture—The
Right Sort Marriage Bureau. The two partners are Miss Iris Sparks, a
woman with a dangerous—and never discussed—past in British intelligence
and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, a genteel war widow with a young son
entangled in a complicated aristocratic family. Looking to throw a New
Year’s Eve soiree for their clients, Sparks and Bainbridge scout an
empty building—only to find a body contained in the walls. What they
initially assume is a victim of the recent Blitz is uncovered instead to
be a murder victim—stabbed several times.
To make matters worse,
the owner of the building is Sparks’ beau, Archie Spelling, who has
ties to a variety of enterprises on the right and wrong sides of the
law, and the main investigator for the police is her ex-fiancée. Gwen,
too, is dealing with her own complicated love life, as she tentatively
steps back into the dating pool for the first time since her husband’s
death. Murder is not something they want to add to their plates, but the
murderer may be closer to home than is comfortable, and they must do
all they can to protect their clients, their business and themselves.
