There's A Murder Afoot by Vicki Delany
Finished 01/05/2020

Category: Outside the US
Takes places in London

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This series looks so good!

Vicki Delany is Eva Gates, right?

Yes, I think she is.

I need to add her to my To Read list!

Yvonne wrote: "Yes, I think she is."

I find this site to be extremely helpful when I have questions about an author and/or book. I thought I would let you know about just in case you hadn't come across it. And, yes, Vicki Delaney and Eva Gates are the same person.

https://www.cozy-mystery.com

Yes! I love that site. I don't know how they keep up with all the different series but I think there's only ever been one book I looked up and couldn't find. The author interviews are really cool too.

I, too, like and use that site! I also find Stop You're Killing Me to be of great use, especially for finding the pseudonyms of favorite authors.
