Three ex-husbands. Two ex-wives.
One shocking murder.
A wedding that's the talk of the town...

* Pre-order book two in The Woolf & Bell Mysteries - coming Spring 2025 *

Tudor Close Hotel, Rottingdean, is the most glamorous venue of the season. And not somewhere Viriginia or her sister Vanessa would usually choose to frequent. They're far happier at home with their writing or painting, than brushing shoulders with debutantes or starlets.

But Lady Ottoline has had a difficult year, so - despite her rather outlandish tastes - they let her choose the meeting spot. And when the group bumps into fashion designer Mimi Mason in the hotel bar, they begrudgingly accept an invite to her wedding breakfast the next morning.

No one imagined that, a few cocktails later, Mimi would be dead.

As the sisters are drawn into a new case, it becomes clear that someone meticulously planned this murder. Beneath the glittering exterior, there was a dark side to this beautiful bride - and every wedding guest had a reason to sabotage this happy union.

But which one of them decided it was time to give Mimi a taste of her own poison?

'Have you ever wanted to be part of the Bloomsbury Group? This delightful new mystery allows you to do just that. Utterly charming and expertly plotted with twists I genuinely never saw coming!' Jessica Bull, author of Miss Austen Investigates
