Book Review: Murder in Mayfair by Verity Bright

Rating: 5 Stars

As an avid fan of historical mysteries (especially this series), I found “Murder in Mayfair” by Verity Bright to be an absolute delight. From the moment Lady Eleanor Swift witnesses a murder from a hot air balloon high above London, I was hooked on the thrilling mystery that unfolded.

The story weaves together a stolen pearl necklace, a missing dead body, and a web of secrets within the luxurious setting of Mayfair. Lady Eleanor's determination to solve the case, even if it means going undercover as a governess, showcases her tenacity and wit. The addition of the dashing (and Ellie's beau) Detective Hugh Seldon adds another layer of intrigue to the plot, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.

Verity Bright's writing style is captivating, drawing readers into the glamorous world of the 1920s with vivid descriptions and well-developed characters. The author's ability to transport readers to another time and place is truly impressive. The pacing of the story is spot on, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end.

Overall, “Murder in Mayfair” is a well-plotted mystery that will keep you entertained from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed every page and found myself eagerly turning them to uncover the hidden secrets of Chadwick House. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good historical mystery with a touch of glamour and intrigue.

I echo the sentiment of many fans of the series when I say that I hope the adventures of Lady Eleanor Swift continue for many more books to come. Verity Bright has created a captivating world filled with lovable characters and engaging mysteries that will leave you craving for more.
