A 1930s Mona Moon Historical Cozy Mystery: Book 14
Publication Date: June 17, 2025
High society sleuth Mona Moon and her husband, Robert Farley, Duke of Brynelleth, are on the last leg of their honeymoon. They are island hopping in the sunny Mediterranean Sea, sightseeing all the ancient archaeological ruins before returning home to Mooncrest Farm in Kentucky. They find it odd that they keep running into old friends like Agatha Christie and associates along their trip. A sixth sense is telling Mona that danger is slowly closing in, but she has no idea how it will manifest itself. Will Mona’s dream honeymoon turn into a nightmare?
High society sleuth Mona Moon and her new husband, Robert Farley, are at the tale of their romantic honeymoon. However, Mona senses that danger is lurking, and she has no idea how that will manifest.
Author Abigail Keam pens the 14th book in her Mona Moon Mystery series, Murder Under a Mystic Moon. Despite having several books in the series, each book can be easily read as a standalone, as the author gives ample background so readers don’t feel lost.
I appreciate the love and trust between Mona and Robert. The author does a good job of allowing the reader to “see” how much Mona and Robert are devoted to each other. They are each other’s person, their mate, their other half.
The book moved fast, and the plot kept me entertained. One of the reasons I enjoy cozy mysteries is that nothing is crazy scary. It is just pure entertainment, and this book is all that and very well-written, as well.
The book’s setting is in the 1930s, so sometimes I forget our technology didn’t exist at that time. Additionally, manners, the ability to engage in conversation, and the skill of writing legibly are qualities that should never go out of style, even though they often do.
Murder Under a Mystic Moon transports readers back in time, focusing on relationships and a puzzling mystery.
Award-winning author Abigail Keam writes the Mona Moon Mystery Series—a rags-to-riches 1930s mystery series, which weaves real people and events into the story line. “I am a student of history and love to insert historical information into my mysteries. There is an addendum at the end of the mystery to give more information. My goal is to entertain my readers, but if they learn a little something along the way—well, then we are both happy.”
Miss Abigail currently lives on the Palisades bordering the Kentucky River in a metal house with her husband and various critters.
