About this ebook

South Regent Mansions has all the modern conveniences . . . including murder


London, February, 1924. Discreet sleuth for the high society set, Olive Belgrave is delighted with her new flat at South Regent Mansions where she’s made several friends, including the modern career woman, Minerva, who draws a popular cartoon about a flapper for a London newspaper.

But then Minerva comes to Olive for help after catching a glimpse of a disturbing sight—a dead body. At least, that’s what Minerva thought she saw, but there’s not a dead body anywhere in the posh building, and the residents are continuing with their lives as they normally do. Is Minerva seeing things? Is she barmy? Or is there a more sinister explanation? 

To help restore Minerva’s peace of mind, Olive investigates her neighbors. They include: society’s “it” girl of the moment, an accountant with a fondness for gadgets, a snooty society matron, and a school teacher turned bridge instructor. Olive uncovers rivalries, clandestine affairs, and hidden jealousies. With dashing Jasper at her side, Olive must discover whose secret is worth killing for.

If you like sophisticated whodunits, charming characters, and novels with a lighthearted tone, you’ll enjoy the seventh installment of the High Society Lady Detective series, Murder at the Mansions, from USA Today bestselling author, Sara Rosett.

It appears that there has been a murder in Olive's building and it seems highly likely that it occurred to someone on her floor. Since Olive is a "discreet sleuth" her neighbor hires her to figure out what happened. The trouble is that there is no body and no one is missing I love how authentic this story is to the 1920's. It is a great historical mystery with a charming protagonist. I look forward to the next book in the High Society Lady Detective series. Thanks to the author for an advance review copy. The opinions expressed are my own.
