Murder at Claridge's by Jim Eldridge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

October's 1940 London. DCI Coburg and Sergeant Ted Lampson are called to to investigate the death of a kitchen porter at the Claridge's Hotel. Much to the annoyance of the local Detective Inspector Lomax, then another similar murder occurs on his patch. But there is also the problem of fighting between local gangs, and various fraud ploys to be investigated. While some are dealing with personal problems.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its varied and likeable characters. Another good addition to the series which can easily be read as a standalone story.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
