Murder at Hotel 1911: An Ivy Nichols Mystery by Audrey Keown
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Wealthy Amelia Swain and get son Jeffrey book into the Hotel 1911. A hotel that is made to look from the 1911 era.
The chef is informed that she is allergic to shellfish. Soon she is found dead. So the main suspect is the chef, George, but Ivy Nichols, his friend and hotel receptionist knows him to be innocent so she investigates.
The story is told from her point of view and so we get all her thoughts which usually sounds like some teenager not an adult of 28.
For me there was too much about her mental struggles and Jung and not enough of a mystery.
This is a lightweight modern cozy mystery.
The blurb does not indicate that this is story set in modern times, unfortunately, as I find novice investigators revealing the truth before the dumb police irritating.
