Murder the Tey Way (Golden Age of Mystery Book Club) by Marilyn Levinson – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Murder the Tey Way by Marilyn Levinson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the first book in this series I was looking forward to being back with amateur sleuth Professor Lexie Driscoll, and I was not disappointed. Once again I wished I could be a member of her ‘Golden Age of Mystery Bookclub’! This time they are discussing Josephine Tey’s (a favourite author of mine) books. However, Lexie gets a surprise when her sister Gayle turns up and is terrified for her life. Gayle was a witness to her boyfriend’s murder and now fears his killers could come for her. When a man’s body is found in Lexie’s backyard, Gayle runs. Lexie decides to investigate and is determined to discover the truth. She soon learns that the bookclub members have secrets. Lexie has to contend with more murders and unexpected revelations as she investigates. I was once again drawn into Lexie’s world, along with quirky characters and an intriguing whodunnit. The descriptive narrative brings both the characters and the setting to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The plot of Josephine Tey’s novels are cleverly weaved into the storyline and help Lexie in her investigations. The plot kept me guessing due to the numerous red herrings, which I enjoy. An enjoyable and engaging cozy mystery and I look forward to being back with the bookclub soon.
