The new Miss Clara Vale Mysteries series takes off in captivating style with The Picture House Murders. Clara is frustratingly unable start a career using her Oxford University science degree. When she inherits her uncle’s Newcastle detective agency in 1929, which includes a laboratory, arson and murder await. Clara is wonderfully ahead of her time, she is determined and extremely likeable. Author Fiona Veitch Smith’s previous series Poppy Denby Investigates also contains a forward-thinking female investigator, if you were a fan then I’m quite sure you will also fall in love with Clara. The focus on science within the scene of the crime is really interesting. The sense of place is vivid, Newcastle comes alive, and the jam-jar cinema just sings. The murder mystery element sits perfectly against Clara learning the ropes of being a private investigator. Alive with 1920’s flare, The Picture House Murders is an entertaining, oh-so readable start to a new series.
