( ) Countess Philomena (Phil) is invited to a debut ball where the intended fiancée is found dead inside the laundry chute. The mother of the young woman whose ball Phil attended has requested that Phil come and help find out who murdered the man & why. Included is a high ranking government official, dubious friends of the deceased, Mr. X (they mystery man), and assorted family members. The dead man was a schemer who teamed up w/ known financial schemers to bankrupt his company and a seducer of young women. I liked this book much better than its predecessor and found the characters rounding out. The book held my interest and I most likely will continue with the series, where i had originally thought not. I found the 2nd book in the Lady Dunbridge series kind of slog. There are long talks among the characters about stock trading, Ponzi scheme-like activities, lots of insider trader talk, and banks collapsing. The mystery was good, lots of suspects on who poisoned Percy and stuffed him into the laundry shoot. Then there’s another murder, the lady’s maid, who was the intended victim. I kept reading hoping for more interaction between Philomena and Police Detective Atkins and who is the mysterious Mr. X . I really enjoyed this murder mystery. I received this for free and I voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 4.5* rating. This is not for the under 18 readers. I wonder if someone else found something a little kinky in this.At a time when banks were going under, daily, there is one murder, and then another. Is the murder connected with the banks or something else. I must say that this kept me guessing till the end. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"Lady Dunbridge was not about to let a little thing like the death of her husband ruin her social life. She's come to New York City, ready to take the dazzling world of Gilded Age Manhattan by storm. The social events of the summer have been amusing but Lady Phil is searching for more excitement---and she finds it, when an early morning visitor arrives, begging for her help. After all, Lady Phil has been known to be useful in a crisis. Especially when the crisis involves the untimely death of a handsome young business tycoon. His death could send another financial panic through Wall Street and beyond.With the elegant Plaza Hotel, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the opulent mansions of Long Island's Gold Coast as the backdrop, romance, murder, and scandals abound. Someone simply must do something. And Lady Dunbridge is happy to oblige."--Provided by publisher. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
