Un Meurtre À Quatre Épingles

Mitternächtliche Schnitzeljagden, Kostümpartys und ein blaublütiger Mord … November 1923. Olives Schulkameradin Gigi lädt Olive nach London ein, weil Gigis exzentrische Großmutter um ihr Leben fürchtet – das hat sie jedenfalls zu Gigi gesagt. Olive stellt jedoch überrascht fest, dass die Witwe alles andere als verwirrt ist. Die scharfsinnige und herrische Matriarchin weigert sich, ihre Sorgen zuzugeben, und schickt Olive nach Hause. Ohne eine Klientin oder einen Fall wird Olive in den glitzernden Lebensstil der goldenen Gesellschaft und ihren dekadenten Exzess hineingezogen. Doch dann schlägt zwischen Cocktails und Champagner während eines albernen Partyspiels ein Mörder zu, und Olive erkennt, dass die Befürchtungen der Witwe begründet waren. Mord in Mayfair ist der fünfte Teil der beliebten Detektivin mit Stil-Serie der USA Today-Bestsellerautorin Sara Rosett. Begleiten Sie Olive und ihren eleganten Partner Jasper, die durch extravagante Partys der Bright Young People und ihre eigene zaghaft erblühende Beziehung navigieren …
