Murder at the Majestic Hotel by Clara McKenna (Stella and Lyndy Mystery #4)

 

Where did you go on your honeymoon or where would you like to go on vacation if you could pick anywhere?

We went to Arizona and toured around from Sedona to the Grand Canyon, to the Hoover Dam.  It was a lot of fun.

Murder at the Majestic Hotel is a riveting historical mystery set in England in the early twentieth century.  Viscount and Lady Lyndhurst (Lyndy and Stella) have just married and are looking forward to spending their honeymoon staying in the honeymoon suite of the Majestic Hotel in York.  They find out on their arrival that there has been a mix-up and someone else has their suite, Mr. Horace Wingrove the famous chocolatier.  In the night, he mysteriously dies, and Stella and Lyndy are on the case.  What caused his death?  Where is the missing chocolate formula?  Does this have anything to do with the visit of the princesses?

I enjoyed this book so much.  I thought the mystery was top notch and the various mysteries kept me guessing all through the novel.  I loved the characters. Stella and Lyndy had a great, sweet romance between them.  I loved Stella’s pluck.    All of the other characters were interesting as well.  The York setting was fascinating and had me looking up things after I finished the book.

This is the fourth book in the series.  I was fine reading it as a standalone, but it does make me want to go back and read the rest of the series!  I have already purchased the first book.

Murder at the Majestic Hotel will be available on October 25th!
