Jeanette De Beauvoir – The Matinee Murders

‘The Matinee Murders’ by Jeannette De Beauvoir is a cosy mystery story and the sixth book in The Provincetown series. This is the first book by this author that I have ever read and found I had no trouble jumping right in. The author gives enough of the back story to allow us to enjoy this particular book.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Sydney the main character especially, she is an amateur detective slash wedding planner. She is working at Race Point Inn as an event and wedding planner. She is organising events for the Provincetown International Film Festival and a wedding for a Bollywood star when two people are found dead. Sydney does what she does best, investigates. She has a colourful cast of characters to help her as well, her boyfriend, Ali, an ICE investigator and Mirela her best friend just to name a couple.

These all add to the quirkiness of Sydney and the story. Sydney, I found hilarious at times, we are treated to her inner voice, which is not the respectful wedding planner and this just makes me love her more!

An excellent cosy mystery which is written well and had me feeling I was there at an International Film Festival, the intrigue and suspense built nicely as Sydney investigated and begins to come up with answers. The plot is a good realistic and a quite believable one also. I am putting the previous instalments in my list just so I can catch up with Sydney!
