A review by cayceosborne
The Socialite's Guide to Murder by S.K. Golden

4.0

This cozy historical mystery had lots of sparkle and wit. The main character, Evelyn, is rich and beautiful with a bubbly personality, but her borrowed-from-Marilyn-Monroe persona hides anxieties and sadness. I love the way the author balanced Evelyn's love for fashion, her privilege, and her dramatic love life with some real depth. There are not one but two crimes to solve here, and the clues and reveals are fun and well-paced. This novel is perfect for readers who: prefer no grit and gore, love stories set in hotels, are Marilyn fans, love fashion, are dog lovers, like a feisty and feminine heroine.
