Sinopsis

Everyone in 1920s London knows the Honourable Cressida Fawcett: fiercely independent (though never apart from her little pug Ruby), lover of martinis and interior designer extraordinaire. SheâÇÖs solved many crimes of fashion... so how about murder?áCressida Fawcett is heading to the English countryside for a weekend of cocktails and partying at her friendâÇÖs glamorous mansion, the location of a recent diamond heist. But just hours after her arrival, Cressida is woken by an almighty scream. Rushing to the landing, she looks down into the great hall to find a trembling maid standing next to the body of Harry, the friendly young chandelier cleaner.áEveryone believes HarryâÇÖs death was an accident. But as Cressida examines the opulent hall and the beautiful grounds, she thinks something darker is afoot. Why clean a chandelier in the early hours of the morning? And who overheard Harry boasting about coming into unexpected wealth? A small piece of torn silk found near the body has Cressida looking at the guestsâÇÖ elegant clothes with fresh eyes...áThe short-tempered Detective insists that she keeps her curious nose out of the investigation, but itâÇÖs Cressida who realises the stolen diamonds were hidden in the sparkling chandelier. Convinced there is a connection between the theft and the murder, the case takes a sinister turn when a guest is killed in his sleep after a brandy-fuelled night of cards. With everyone unable to leave, can CressidaâÇÖs sharp eye for detail catch the killer before another life is taken?áAn absolutely gripping and utterly charming 1920s murder mystery packed with wit, glamour and intrigue. The perfect whodunnit for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey andáDownton Abbey!ááWhat readers are saying about Fliss Chester:áâÇÖAbsolutely amazing...áI devoured this book, it kept my attention from the first page to the last...
