The Case of the Stolen Space Suit
Ratings2
Average rating3.5
London, 1896. Madame Tussauds opens to find one of its nightwatchmen decapitated and his colleague nowhere to be found. To the police, the case seems simple: one killed the other and fled, but workers at the museum aren't convinced. Although forbidden contact by his superior officer, Scotland Yard detective John Feather secretly enlists 'The Museum Detectives' Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton to aid the police investigation. When the body of the missing nightwatchman is discovered encased within a wax figure, the case suddenly becomes more complex. With questions over rival museums, the dead men's pasts and a series of bank raids plaguing the city, Wilson and Fenton face their most intriguing and dangerous case yet.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – What a delightful read this was!
This was my first foray into Museum Mysteries series, and I will say right off the bat that this works very well as a standalone. I was never confused or felt like I was missing information pertinent to this story. The writing was excellent, and it an effortless feel to it. It was well paced. The plot was intriguing (if a little straightforward). There weren't really a lot of twists or red herrings. It's pretty obvious who is behind everything from early on. However, that didn't bother me. Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton are both solid and likable lead characters with great on page chemistry. What more is there to say? I can't wait to dive into the other books in this series and see where this author takes these characters in the next installment.
