Summary
Glitzy parties, sightseeing at the Statue of Liberty, and strolls through Central Park with Gladstone the bulldog…Lady Eleanor Swift is loving her first trip to the city that never sleeps, until she witnesses a murder!
After crossing from England on the SS Celestiana, Lady Eleanor Swift sets up her home-away-from-home in a lavish apartment in New York City. She is soon the toast of the town, with no high-class soirée complete without her presence. Of course, she drags her butler Clifford and Gladstone the bulldog along to every party, too.
But when she witnesses the charming doorman of her building, Marty, knocked down and killed in a hit-and-run, she finds fashionable society suddenly closes rank. The only local detective interested in helping her find the culprit is street-smart beat cop, Officer Balowski.
Resolved to get justice for Marty and his family, Eleanor searches Marty’s tiny apartment and is shocked to find five rolls of banknotes tucked under the floorboards. Money talks, but Marty was struggling to make ends meet, so where did the cash come from?
The next day, wealthy entrepreneur and flashy philanderer Ogden P. Dellaney—a man Marty used to work for—is found dead downtown, miles away from his swanky Upper East Side mansion. Eleanor and Balowski are sure the deaths are connected, but not even Dellaney’s wife is willing to answer their questions.
Then Eleanor is served with an eviction notice and Balowski is fired from the NYPD. It becomes clear that something is rotten in the Big Apple, and Eleanor is determined to get to the core of the mystery before the murderer strikes again....
Murder in Manhattan is a fun, fast-paced, and twisty Golden Age cozy mystery set in New York. Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

Another brilliant addition to the series!
Entertaining as ever, the adventures of Lady Swift continue to liven up one’s day whether listening on the road or at home. The story is somewhat far fetched on occasion but it does not detract from the enjoyment. As usual the narration by Karen Cass is pitch perfect.

Ellie hits Broadway
Ellie and her found family take on New York.
We enjoyed this story but hope after a few stories travelling around to Scitland, London, the Riviera, Ireland and a cruise that Ellie can spend some time at home in the next story.

Not best
I enjoyed this series and usually the narration is great. However, not keen on the American accent. I nearly gave up at one stage.. like someone else mentioned, I wish the next book will be set back at Eleanor’s home.

very disappointed
The explaining of all three Americanisms and putting down of police, corruption was riff but no need to go into depth explaining. Normally love lady Swift.

Not Lady Swift’s best
Orchard Street & immigration has so much more to offer in this story, and not just Eleanor, wrinkles and the gang miss it. But a little follow-up online with pictures abound adds some spice which opens the mind’s eye
