It was the most fashionable place to stay in London, until murder made a reservation. Solve the puzzle in this new mystery from USA Today bestselling author of the Glass and Steele series.
December 1899. After the death of her beloved grandmother, Cleopatra Fox moves into the luxury hotel owned by her estranged uncle in the hopes of putting hardship and loneliness behind her. But the poisoning of a guest on Christmas eve throws her new life, and the hotel, into chaos.
Cleo quickly realizes no one can be trusted, not Scotland Yard and especially not the hotel’s charming assistant manager. With the New Year’s Eve ball approaching fast and the hotel’s reputation hanging by a thread, Cleo must find the killer before the ball, and the hotel itself, are ruined. But catching a murderer proves just as difficult as navigating the hotel’s hierarchy and the peculiarities of her family.
Can Cleo find the killer before the new century begins? Or will someone get away with murder?

Lijkt op een goede ouderwetse Agatha Christie. Love it!

Writing Golden Age revival mystery means walking a fine line. On the one hand, readers expect nostalgia, fashionable parties, upper class intrigues and all that. But on the other hand, you still have to avoid too many cliches and give the genre something fresh and unique. Unfortunately, this book has too many stereotypes and well-known tropes. Several characters are utterly annoying caricatures of posh people.
