    Classic whodunit police procedural with believable characters and a vivid setting!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2019*

I have been enjoying this series so much that I pre-ordered this book, something I have not done in years! What makes it special? First, good, believable characters with genuine human problems but not so unrelievedly dysfunctional I get turned off; I am interested in them and care about them. Second, a classic mystery where there are clues laid along the way that I mostly missed (although that was my fault.  The author goes out of his way to be fair to the reader and to tease them at the same time. When Oldryd gets an insight, Evans tells us so, but we have to figure out for ourselves just what that insight is and what it means. ). Third, a very vivid evocation of the Yorkshire area, with some particular feature being highlighted in each book, in this case the Harrogate Turkish Baths and the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival.  Best of all a great story, in this case the murder of a mystery writer beloved by his readers but hated by just about everyone who knows him at a crime writing festival.Royal Baths Murder lived up to the previous books in all respects.  The crime was cleverly planned, but Oldryd’s deductions were, of course, even cleverer. Oldryd himself is an unusually human mystery protagonist, in addition to his deductive talents, and the events in his personal life added to the story. A subtheme of sexual harassment that emerged early in the book at first annoyed me, because I feared it was just an attempt to be au courant, but ultimately I enjoyed that as well.  If I want to quibble there was a small but in one respect weighty aspect of the denouement that seemed a bit strained, but some might disagree.If you have not read the earlier books, you will have no problem picking the series up at this point, but if you want to avoid minor spoilers involving the characters’ lives, I would recommend beginning with The Body in the Dales (also called The Body in Jingling Pot).  If you read one, you will want to read them all, so why not begin at the beginning!

What  I disliked the most:this book checks off every woke issue from global warming to vegan ism to the me too movement and the required LGBT themes  Can we not have a good mystery without all the other stuff?! The real plot gets lost. This is the last book by this author that I will read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good mystery and a quick read!
