Why read it?

1 author picked Murder, I Spy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

For the sake of transparency, I need to say the author is a friend but I enjoyed Oxford Key Mysteries and this new series seemed like something I’d like.

While Lynn’s previous series is a cozy mystery with some fantastical elements, the genre of this one is pure cozy mystery. And what can I say? I’m a sucker for dual POVs and Murder, I Spy has that, alternating between the perspectives of Dora and Rex, a femme fatale and an aristocrat, respectively. 

And then you also have London in the 1920ies and what looks like to be a dazzling relationship.
