Murder at the Jazz Club (Kitty Worthington, #7)

Kitty Worthington is thrilled to celebrate her birthday at London’s swankiest club. Dinner, dancing, and listening to the city’s hottest jazz band. How wonderful is that? But then a body drops and ruins all the fun.

London 1924. After solving a difficult murder, Kitty Worthington has become all the rage. Purloined Poodle? Kitty will find it. Nicked necklace? Kitty will get it back. Suspicious suitor? Kitty will make inquiries. A victim of her own success, she’s eagerly looking forward to her birthday celebration at Gennaro’s, London’s swankiest jazz club. Dinner with friends and dancing with her intended, the hunky Chief Inspector Detective Robert Crawford, while listening to the American jazz band and chanteuse who’ve taken the city by storm. What could be more fun?

But as the singer’s smoky voice commands everyone’s attention, an argument erupts between her brother and a marquis. Before long, the aristocrat winds up dead. By morning, the brother’s been arrested. Wrongfully, his sister claims as she begs Kitty to investigate.

The last thing Kitty needs is yet another investigation. But there’s something about the arrest that seems wrong. Determined to get to the truth, Kitty and her band of sleuths are soon searching for answers. To their surprise, they discover an intrigue that implicates a high-ranking noble, and maybe even a royal personage himself. In no time at all, that scoop finds its way to the press, and threats start to mount against Kitty and friends. Can they divine a solution before someone ends up dead?
