Fiona Figg follows her heart and the dastardly Fredrick Fredricks to Russia where she is quickly arrested by the Cheka (secret police). Can Kitty save her?
Murder in Moscow is the 5th book in the Fiona Figg and Kitty Lane series of cosy spy and murder mysteries set during WW1.
Despite her doubts, Fiona travels to Russia to meet Fredrick. Instead of a rendezvous, she is arrested alongside a Russian countess and hauled to a prison. Her rescue is organised by Kitty but she is straight back into action working undercover as a nanny for the infamous head of police.
I really like this series of books. There is such a wonderful humour to the tone and style of writing. Most of the book is written from Fiona’s first person narration so we hear her inner voice commenting on her experience. Other chapters are written to show Kitty’s third person perspective on events.
Fiona and Kitty are wonderful characters in their own right but superb when working together. The relationships in the book have developed over the earlier ones in the series but there are no spoilers about any previous plot twists. The romantic tension with Archie and Fredrick continues to occupy Fiona’s thoughts even whilst in danger!
Murder in Moscow is an enjoyable historical spy and murder mystery and a great addition to the series.
