I want to start off by saying how superb the setting was. I've read a number of historically set mysteries and often times they don't capture the essence of their time period. Murder at Claridge's was an absolute treat in this respect. The plot was interesting, too, especially since there was a lot of action, however, I really struggled to delve deeply into it and didn't retain much. With so much going on, I found it hard to connect with any of the characters which is a big must for me. So much of the writing remained on the surface. I must point out that I hadn't realized that this was the third book in the series. An oversight on my part. I might feel differently if I started from the beginning. Given how much I enjoyed the old-timey vibe of the book, I might do this in the future. I definitely recommend this to people who like a plot-thick book.
Thank you to Allison & Busby and NetGalley for providing this ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

I am becoming a big fan of Jim Eldridge's books. I love the Museum Mysteries series, so I thought I would give this book a try to see if held the same allure. It did. The writing is just so well done and very readable. The settings and attention to historical detail are top-notch. It was well paced, and held up well as a standalone. The plot was intelligent and engaging. Coburg (along with his wife) are strong lead characters. And it was all wrapped up in a satisfying ending. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
