It was the most fashionable place to stay in London, until murder made a reservation. Solve the puzzle in this new cozy historical 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?

This is not the type of cozy mystery that I gravitate to, but it was incredible. Cleopatra Fox's parents died a few years ago and she lived with her grandmother. When her grandmother eventually passes away she goes to live with her Aunt and Uncle and their children at the Mayfair Hotel. Her parents had been estranged from them, so she knows very little about them.
One of the guests ends up being murdered on Christmas Eve, so Cleopatra starts to question the staff and try to help solve the case.
The characters are all great in this story and the whole hotel is like a cozy small town. We get to know the doormen, maids, manager and more, as well as Cleopatra and her family.
I was intrigued with the characters and the mystery, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
Absolutely marvelous. I loved the characters and can't wait to read more in the series.
