Resumen del Editor

As fashion designer to London’s elite, she had an eye for detail and a flare for the dramatic. But there’s nothing stylish about her cold-blooded murder.

With the social season just around the corner, the women in Cleo’s family are having new outfits made by the most sought-after designer in the city. Madame Poitiers is bold, self-absorbed, and not French, despite her claims.

When Cleo stumbles on her dead body in the salon, she is in a unique position to gather clues and speak to witnesses. But she doesn’t expect to find Harry Armitage’s business card in Madame’s possession. What is the alluring private detective’s connection to the victim? And why is he avoiding Cleo?

As she peeks behind the veil of lies, Cleo uncovers the secrets Madame Poitiers tried to hide. But which secret led to her murder? And which one of the suspects turned the fashion icon into a fashion victim?

Love this series

I loved this book. It might be my favorite Cleopatra Fox book yet. No spoilers here pick it up and see what she and Harry are up to together or apart!

Can’t wait for book five!

I love mysteries, I love history and I love this series!

This peek into the lives of England in 1900 is fascinating . The juxtaposition of the classes all in one setting (the hotel) and the roles of women at the beginning of the suffragette movement is done so well. I can almost feel myself stepping into a turn of the century gown, or even a maids outfit as we learn about Cleo’s unlikely friend, Harmony.

Marian really brings Cleo and the other characters to life.
I often forget that it’s a woman doing ALL the voices. I don’t know how she does it.

I read the third novel with a library app and I found myself trying to hear in my mind how Ms. Hussey would put a spin on the accents and vocal inflections.

A perfect pairing!

Cleo and Harry - a dynamic duo

I love the mystery of the story and the subtle potential romantic tension between Cleo and Harry. Excellent plot twists in these cute mysteries.

Enjoyable

Relaxing listen. I enjoy the author & the narrator. I’m looking forward to more of her books.

Great story

Loved the voices which read the book. That is what has drawn me in to the series, storytelling great!

equal sleuths

great detective work by all, a joint effort by all classes of characters, with emotions every where on the scale. kept you guessing.

Never disappointed. 🙂

I am a CJ Archer fan big time! Her books must be included on my monthly reading choices or I'll feel lost, like binging on a series and finishing too soon. Waiting...anxiously for her next book. ✍️🏽⏳️

Love this series

Good story, easy listening for the whole family. Would recommend. Love the narrator, she has a good voice.

Enjoying the series!

I’ve become more progressively engaged in the characters with each new book in the series. Story lines are interesting and love that it’s not easy to guess whodunnit! I also enjoy that there are little sideline stories with other than the main characters.

Truly Entertaining!!

In these Cleopatra Fox stories, the reader’s performance is as important as the narrative, and what an excellent job Marian Hussey does! I have enjoyed the stories, the historical settings, the interplay between the characters, the dialogue—just everything about C. J. Archer’s writing in these books.
