Death under Palm Trees by Carmen Radtke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Death under Palm Trees: A Jack and Frances 1930s mystery (Jack and Frances mysteries Book 4) by Carmen Radtke, 5 stars.

This is a great historical mystery that honors Agatha Christie. Having never read this author before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are interesting and quite pleasant. They are all unique and really adept to the sleuthing they are asked to do. The story itself is quite interesting too. Set in the 30s, it is interesting to see the times in the different countries. As an Amercian, I did have a bit of trouble with different terms, but not enough to deter from the story. It is so easy to look them up now anyway. Regardless, I could not put the book down until I finished and I was kept guessing the whole time.

This was a fun, interesting historical cozy mystery with lots of twists and turns. I thought it was over, but then realized I was only halfway through! I highly recommend it and cannot wait to read the rest of the books in this series.
