The 1920s most stylish sleuth returns in The Crystal Crypt for another thrilling murder mystery! "But accidents can still happen... Perhaps there was something out of her control, something she couldn't have foreseen..." "Like someone plotting to kill her?" Reporter sleuth Poppy Denby is asked to investigate the mysterious death of an up-and-coming female scientist in an Oxford laboratory known as the Crystal Crypt. The official verdict is that Dr June Leighton died in a tragic accident, but Dr Leighton's lab assistant believes it was murder. However, when Poppy discovers that the colleague has spent time in a mental institution and has an unresolved murder in her own past, Poppy wonders if she is being misled. But then, another female academic is attacked, and Poppy herself becomes a target.

Full of twists

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 | Review by: Kelly H.

The Poppy Debby series by Fiona Veitch Smith is a favourite of mine (and one I introduced Mum to, for a change) and so it was with excitement I tucked on to “The Crystal Crypt”! The gang is all back together and an old acquaintance of Poppy, a scientist has been killed in a university town and the investigation ruled it an accident. Poppy decides to go down and find out more about what happened under the guise of a profile on the female scientist but soon sees there is more going on than meets the eye on more than one front. With Rollo and Ike to back her up, Poppy starts digging and before long she’s onto something, something big enough she may be in harm’s way, not that stops her in any way! It is a great mystery full of twists and turns! I am looking forward to the next one! It’s a five out of five on the enJOYment scale, I highly recommend it! I received complimentary copy of the book from Lion Hudson Ltd Books through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review is completely my own
