Summary

A locked room。 A mysterious death。 Just another gig for the Dizzy Heights。

When London’s finest jazz musicians, the Dizzy Heights, are booked to play the glitzy Midsummer Ball at a country house in Oxfordshire, they expect a weekend filled with flappers and toffs having a roaring good time。

But the festivities at Bilverton House take a turn for the worse when the group are stranded by a summer storm。 And when a member of the Bilverton family turns up dead in a locked room in an apparent suicide, Skins, Dunn and Ellie realise this is going to be a much tougher gig than they thought。

But here’s the lick。 What if it was in fact cold-blooded murder? And what if the killer is still at large? It’s up to the Dizzy Heights to once again put down their instruments and get improvising if they want to solve this confounding mystery。

I read the first Dizzy Heights mystery last year and enjoyed it so much that I went on to read most of his other series。 I was really happy to be able to read this pre-publication in exchange for an honest review。 The story is set in 1925 and is a must for lovers of the roaring twenties and the jazz age。 The Dizzy Heights are booked to play at a ball and inevitably get mixed up with a mysterious death。 It's a classic locked room mystery and has quite a complicated plot which all gets resolved in I read the first Dizzy Heights mystery last year and enjoyed it so much that I went on to read most of his other series。 I was really happy to be able to read this pre-publication in exchange for an honest review。 The story is set in 1925 and is a must for lovers of the roaring twenties and the jazz age。 The Dizzy Heights are booked to play at a ball and inevitably get mixed up with a mysterious death。 It's a classic locked room mystery and has quite a complicated plot which all gets resolved in a satisfactory manner very reminiscent of Agatha Christie。 The author has done his research on the period and it really comes alive with snappy dialogue between the members of the band and their companions。 。。。more

Another wonderful novel from Kinsey。 A fun mystery。 Who is the killer in the isolated house? Fun characters and our team of Ellie, Skins and Dunn are awesome as always。 The conversations are the author's strong suit。 I recommend all of both series, but ot would stand ok alone as well。Full disclosure- I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 Another wonderful novel from Kinsey。 A fun mystery。 Who is the killer in the isolated house?

Slight spoiler in reviewI mean this in an entirely complimentary way,but this was like reading famous 5 for grown ups。。。 I expected there to be lashings of ginger beer。。。 instead there was mention of champagne and other food stuff at regular intervals。A murder occurs after a family party,whilst the family and the jazz musicians are stranded at the house due to weather。I was thrilled when they broke the musicians down into a smaller section,as the first part of book felt like character overload。A Slight spoiler in reviewI mean this in an entirely complimentary way,but this was like reading famous 5 for grown ups。。。 I expected there to be lashings of ginger beer。。。 instead there was mention of champagne and other food stuff at regular intervals。A murder occurs after a family party,whilst the family and the jazz musicians are stranded at the house due to weather。I was thrilled when they broke the musicians down into a smaller section,as the first part of book felt like character overload。As the bodies pile up,and secrets are uncovered,there's was always a sense of fun to this book。The second in the series,I'll be looking out for no。3 now。 。。。more
