Synopsis

London, December 1891. The annual Charity Masquerade at the Grand Hotel is the season's most anticipated social event, hosted by the formidable Lady Penelope Thorne. But when a guest is found dead beneath the chandelier, the elegant revelry turns to panic. With the killer still masked and the hostess quick to blame the catering staff for a 'tragic accident, ' Eleanor Marchioness of Merritt finds herself in the thick of it. As the only one who noticed the killer's slip of a glove, Eleanor must navigate a ballroom full of suspects, including a jealous countess, a disgraced financier, and a solicitor with a grudge, before Lady Penelope's reputation-and her own-crumbles. Can Eleanor solve the murder before the police arrive and the truth is buried under layers of scandal?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Beatrice Marlowe writes Victorian and Edwardian historical mysteries with a generous helping of wit, set in a world of manners, murder, and magnificent hats. Her novels pair the plotting precision of a classic country-house whodunit with the lighter touch of a P. G. Wodehouse comedy of manners, inviting readers to settle in for an evening of tea, scandal, and a body most inconveniently discovered.

For Beatrice, the Victorian and Edwardian era is escapism at its most delicious: the clothes, the carriages, the delicious tension of women doing things they were not at all supposed to do. She writes for readers who want their mysteries clever, their heroines dry, and their endings satisfyingly tied up in ribbon.

She lives in a small house filled with books, teacups, and an unreasonable number of period hats.
