Murder on Wheels by Stuart Palmer
Series: Hildegarde Winters #2
Despite what this site might tell you, this is definitely book 2 in the series, so I didn’t read them out of order (I was worried about that, briefly).
This book reprises our schoolteacher and police detective from The Penguin Pool Murder. This time the schoolteacher tags along again when a man is mysteriously murdered and is found after a car crash outside his vehicle in the middle of the street with a rope around his neck. The back and forth between the detective and the amateur was amusing and I quite enjoyed the book. It was fun to be taken back to a 1930s New York seen from a 1930s perspective.
