Murder in New York is book 18 in the Kitty Underhay series. You can start with this book if you haven't read the previous books. 

I've been to New York City during Christmas time and it is pretty magical so I really enjoyed seeing 1930s Christmas in New York through Kitty's and Matt's eyes. 

Kitty and Matt are urgently summoned to New York because her father is deathly ill. However, when they arrive in New York they find him healthy as can be. Was he just laying low to avoid his creditors? Whatever the reason, Kitty and Matt are determined to enjoy the season (and their anniversary). So they go shopping and sightseeing and attend parties organized by socialites. 

Unfortunately, they stumble upon the body of one such socialite hostess. Kitty's curiosity gets the best of her and she can't let go of the mystery. Particularly when there is a second murder. 

As I said, I love Christmas in New York so it is a great backdrop for this cozy mystery. We are with a whole new cast of characters so we don't know anyone well enough to easily rule anyone out as a suspect. As Kitty remarks things are different in New York and they aren't quite sure who to rule out either.

The mystery is fun and not easily solved.

If you are looking for a fun, festive read, pick up this cozy mystery.
