England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

Summary
A room with a view...to murder
June 1933. Independent, young Kitty Underhay has been left in charge of her family’s hotel, The Dolphin, on the tranquil English coast. She’s expecting her days at the bustling resort to be filled with comfortable chatter with chambermaids as they polish the mahogany desks and glittering candelabras of the elegant foyer. Everything must be perfect for the arrival of a glamorous jazz singer from Chicago and a masked ball that will be the cultural highlight of the season.
But when several rooms are broken into and searched, including Kitty’s own, she quickly realizes that something out of the ordinary is afoot at the hotel. Soon, rumors are flying in the cozy town that someone is on the hunt for a stolen ruby. A ruby that Kitty’s mother may well have possessed when she herself went missing during the Great War. And when the break-ins are followed by a series of attacks and murders, including of the town’s former mayoress, it seems the perpetrator will stop at nothing to find it.
Aided by ex-army captain Matthew Bryant, the Dolphin’s new security officer, Kitty is determined to decipher this mystery and preserve not only the reputation of her hotel, but also the lives of her guests. Is there a cold-blooded killer under her own roof? And what connects the missing jewel to the mystery from Kitty’s own past?
A classic murder mystery! Fans of Agatha Christie, Elizabeth Edmondson, and T. E. Kinsey will love this whodunit.

Sorry, Too Soppy For Me
If you like stories that contain, "She stared into his deep blue eyes", or "as she remembered his strong arms a frisson ran through her" etcetc then this is definitely for you.
We have no idea what our female protagonist looks like until quite a way in which is frustrating.
I gave up after 3 chapters, sorry, but bit soppy for me.

Cosy old fashioned murder mystery
It is as it promises so if you like this sort of thing it is very good.
It is similar to Frances Brody’s Kate Shackleton series but not quite as good. There were one or two occasions when I really doubted whether certain words and turns of phrase were around in the 1930’s which broke the spell somewhat. Narration is fine - some good characterisation- though she pronounced some words rather strangely at times! Escapist in a warm, fuzzy way!

Enjoyable.
Gentle and intriguing. my only criticisms are
1. Too many american terms e.g. elevator, which is irritating when listening to a story very clearly set in an English seaside town.
2. The narrator, though on the whole good, was not corrected on some mispronunciations which grated. The worst one was 'hyber- bowl' for hyperbole.!!

Absolute pants!
Very simple plot that struggles in places. Over exaggerated romance story that never really amounts to anything. Protagonist read in an irritatingly simpering tone when written to be strong and capable. Overall irritating and unsatisfactory. If you’re into a decent murder story then avoid.

Main character is a drip. Boring
Gawd this was really annoying. I stopped at chapter 4 as it appeared to centred around a woman who came across as silly little girl. Oh dear what's grandma going to say I ripped my tights! HOW old are you? Also not very 1930s language and dialogue.

Very Good Start
For a while I have been looking for a perfect combination of story, likeable characters and narrator. I have been a huge fan of The Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen which have given me hour upon hour of joy. However, with the declining quality in story and new narrator I have found I needed something more.
I really have battled to get that perfect combo and I feel this series can fulfil my appetite. For starters Alex Tregear sounds like a wonderful narrator. She has the ability to create uniqueness of the characters and does justice to the male voices. I feel she has the ability to create warmth and depth of character.
Kitty is a really likeable main character. She isn't helpless, she is smart and can survive without a man. Good for her :)
The story is just what people would expect from a cozy mystery. It's not going to be an Agatha Christie. It should be a bit looser on the mystery. But overall I do feel the mystery is pretty solid for a cozy mystery.
Looking forward to buying book 2 and waiting eagerly for book 3.

The story's buried in conjecture
There are some nice scene descriptions of nature and rooms and interesting plot and characters introduced but I think Ms. Dixon needs to learn how to give body to her plot. She fills it out with painfully repetitious, fretful self-questions of the characters about what options they have in every situation and the main characters' excessive and premature conjecturing as to WHO might have done the bad things before the story has even hardly gotten going - these completely block the flow of the story. I was disappointed because the plot, description and characters showed such promise.

Loved it!
I can't think of any complaints, except that number 2 isn't already out! I liked that the characters were adults and didn't have the immature drama you find in YA novels. At the same time, there wasn't bad language, sex scenes, etc. I enjoyed the time period and mystery. For me it was just fun and I look forward to the sequel!

One serious flaw
Otherwise, it wasn't a bad start to a new series.
A character described as a black Chicago native shouldn't sound like a white woman from NC! British narrator failed on how to handle that; I had to keep reminding myself the woman wasn't white.

A really good read with excellent narration!
I thought this was a very well written book, especially for the first one the author has done, at least for this series. The characters were well developed, especially the two main personalitids. I I found it to be fast paced and suspenseful and it had an exciting ending. I look forward to the next book, but hope the main couple's relationship evolves at a faster pace. The narrator did a wonderful job with all the different characters and made you feel like you were watching a play. Her voice is really easy to listen to, as well. I would highly recommend this book and look forward to the next in the series!

Good cozy read
There are a few inconsistencies that should have been caught in editing: Kitty was drinking gin, but a sentence or two later there was reference to her wine glass, and then her gin; another instance was placing her bible in the bedside table where she always kept it, but she wasn't in her own room. Switching from 'father' suddenly to 'papa' was disconcerting and seemed contrived.
Alex Tregear did a great job with the narration.

A pleasant listen.
The storyline was light and interesting and had enough twists and turns to be engaging. Sometimes things fell into place a bit too neatly, a bit contrived. The narration was very good. The reader’s voice was pleasant and she conveyed the characters quite well. I’d listen to other books she narrates. This is a good book to use as filler between darker, more complex stories.

This book was just OK
I was looking forward to finding a new cozy mystery series and wanted to like this book . This book started off well with great character and story. As is progressed it became a bit boring. Then ending was awful, When I started this book I was so impressed I purchased the second of this series believing I had found a new series to enjoy. By the time I finished this title I requested a refund on the second book of the series as I felt disappointed . I do not recommend this title as it was not very good.
