Chaos at Carnegie Hall is a fun and engaging historical cozy and the first Fiona Figg & Kitty Lane mystery by Kelly Oliver. Released 15th Nov. 2022 by Boldwood Books, it's 288 pages and is available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats.It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free. The second book in the series, due out 25th April 2023 will also be available on KU.
This is a lightly humorous historical spy cozy set in WW1 and featuring returning spy (from another series by the same author), Fiona Figg as well as introducing a new adversary-to-sidekick character, young Kitty Lane. It's a fast and engaging read, quite humorous in places, and easy to follow.
The language is clean and the plot is woven around actual historical events fairly skillfully. It's a cozy, and without graphic, on page violence. It's not at all derivative, but it will definitely appeal to fans of Andrea Hicks and Verity Bright.
Four stars. Light entertainment.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
