About the book
London's most fashionable place to stay saw a reservation of a different kind when murder struck. Immerse yourself in this gripping new cozy historical mystery by the USA Today bestselling author of the Glass and Steele series.
In December 1899, Cleopatra Fox moves into her estranged uncle's luxury hotel following the passing of her dear grandmother, hoping to escape hardship and loneliness. However, a guest's poisoning on Christmas Eve shatters her newfound peace and plunges the hotel into turmoil.
Cleo soon realizes that trust is a rare commodity, whether it's Scotland Yard or the charming assistant manager of the hotel. As the New Year's Eve ball approaches and the hotel's reputation hangs in the balance, Cleo must unmask the killer before both the ball and the hotel are ruined. But unraveling a murder mystery proves as challenging as navigating the hotel's politics and her own family's quirks.
Will Cleo uncover the truth before the turn of the century? Or will the perpetrator evade justice?
