Who doesn't love a good murder mystery dinner party that turns into an actual murder investigation?!
I was so delighted that another Beatrice-Hyde Clare mystery was released! I just adore these books. It's the characters mostly. Bea can be a little too "in her head" sometimes, but overall, I just appreciate her and the Duke. Both together and separate (although we don't really get the Duke on his own). I love how they work together. I love how he believes in her, in spite of the fact that everyone else thinks she's crazy or eccentric or unfashionable. And I like the mysteries themselves, too. This was another in a line of great books in this series!
