Death in the Mayfair Hotel: A totally unputdownable and completely addictive cozy crime mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781835252550)

In a candlelit ballroom, London's most fashionable amateur sleuth, Cressida Fawcett, is dancing the night away in her sparkling silk dress. It's a night Cressida will never forget. Because outside the window, there's a body under the falling snow...

Christmas Eve, 1925. The Honourable Cressida Fawcett is delighted to attend an exclusive ball at London's glamorous Mayfair Hotel. When she steps out into the moonlit courtyard with her little pug Ruby wrapped in her furs, she is thrilled to see a dashing man propose to her best pal under the swirling snowflakes. But instead of squealing 'yes', Dotty lets out a terrified scream...

Because floating in the fountain, with her long blonde hair rippling in the ice-cold water, is the body of their dear friend Lady Victoria Beaumont.

It's clear the wealthy young beauty was murdered, whacked over the head with a bottle of champagne. Would Victoria's elderly husband Lord Beaumont kill his wife over rumours of her younger beau? Or, did someone clobber Victoria to prevent her producing an heir for the Beaumont fortune?

A snowstorm prevents the authorities from arriving, and just as Cressida searches for clues, she finds herself locked inside a large wicker hamper. Why does the scent of the hamper's smoky luxury tea remind her of the crime scene? And will a suspiciously rotund Ruby follow her snuffly nose and find Cressida in the nick of time?

Trapped in the hotel with a killer lurking among the guests, will Cressida lose someone dear to her heart? And when she finds a clue among the Christmas crackers, can Cressida solve her most mysterious case yet?

The perfect cozy whodunnit for a cold winter's night. Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss won't be able to put this down!
