Mabel and her group of women in the murder club, are spending the week at an estate hosting a group of suffragette supporters. Sadly, a couple are murdered and a couple more are attacked, including Mabel. A good story with plenty of interesting characters, and of course Gladys the dog. A good cozy mystery series and this one was hard to put down. Highly recommend.

3.5 stars

It's 1922 in Britain and the suffragette movement is active. Mabel Canning, who left her village to move to London and is employed by the Useful Women agency, is helping coordinate a women's meeting at the estate of one of the members.

Mabel is independent, smart and feminist. But then in this gathering, so are all the women. They have a lot of history together back to the days when some were interned at Holloway Prison and force fed against their will. They are meeting to choose a new leader and there is some contentiousness. One of the icons of the movement is found dead and nobody can believe that one of their number might be responsible.

Mabel, whose sweetie Park is on hand, begins preliminary interviews since the local police force is in over their heads and the Yard is overworked. Mabel is an admirable character living in an interesting time. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Another enjoyable entry in this great series. Mabel and friends are closer to Mabel’s home this time as murder strikes at a suffragette meeting at the manor house in Mabel’s home village. Mabel has to solve a quickly escalating case while also allowing boyfriend Park to meet her family. As always with this series, the mystery is very well done, but it’s the characters and their relationships that really are the heart of the book. The dialogue and interactions are believable and move the plot along. There’s a lovely development at the end that series readers will especially enjoy. I always look forward to these books. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy. All views are entirely my own and offered voluntarily.

Murder of a Suffragette by Marty Wingate

Murder of a Suffragette is the latest in the London Ladies Murder Club series and I think it was my favorite one yet. The main character of Mabel Canning is a well-developed, likable character, who is not afraid to admit that she loves to solve a mystery. She really comes into her own in this book, even taking the place of an often absent police officer. Her cast of quirky friends is another enjoyable part of this series. From her handsome boyfriend Park to the adorable Gladys and sweet Augustus, I love reading about these characters and all the things they do to help her solve a mystery and still have a lot of fun. I was also so excited that we get to meet her family in this book and they did not disappoint. I had no idea who the killer was until the very end and ending of the book was wonderful. The ending kind of wrapped things in a bow, but I hope there will be more in this series. I could imagine it continuing on for a long time!

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. All opinions are my own.

Even the title is catching…attention to back in the day…the title brings up a myriad of subjects…the realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. This is a series that I has red herrings that kept me guessing. The women…their beliefs…their actions…enjoy 5his book by a talented author. Thanks Netgalley

I had a great read during this novel, it had everything that I enjoyed from the previous three books in the London Ladies' Murder Club series. It had that murder mystery element that I was hoping for and enjoyed in the genre. The characters felt like they were supposed to in this time-period. I was fully invested in this story and that had me from the first page, and guessing until the end. Marty Wingate has a great way of telling the story with interesting characters. I hope there is more in the London Ladies' Murder Club series and from Marty Wingate.
