The Socialite's Guide to Murder

It’s 1958, and Evelyn Elizabeth Grace Murphy has not left the Pinnacle Hotel in fourteen months. She suffers from agoraphobia, and what’s more, it’s her father’s hotel, and everything she needs is there. She’s always been good at finding things. Fifteen years earlier, she discovered her mother dead in a Manhattan alleyway. Now, she’s finding trouble inside her sanctuary.

At a party for artist Billie Bell, his newest work is stolen, and Evelyn’s fake boyfriend (and real best friend), movie star Henry Fox, is accused of the theft. But just as Evelyn sets out to prove Henry’s innocence, she finds Billie Bell dead. The murder weapon links the crime to the hotel’s chief of security.

As Mac picks locks and Evelyn snoops around the hotel, they discover the walls around them contain more secrets than they previously knew. Now, Evelyn must force herself to leave the hotel to follow the clues—but when she and Mac set off to chase a lead, their car crashes, and they barely escape with their lives. Someone snipped their brake lines, and now the stakes have become dangerously high.

Evelyn’s knack for sleuthing—and her playful imagination—are always hard at work, so she throws an elaborate party at the hotel where every guest is a suspect. But will the killer emerge from the glamorous lineup? If not, Evelyn just might find herself next in line for murder...

Delightful

Fun, historical, easy read. A young girl raised in a grand hotel and treated as a princess is now of age and is by turns delightful, spoiled, whimsical, bratty. I loved it.

Entertaining

I really enjoyed this book and its clever main character. So good. Worth the credit.

Great start to a series

I really enjoyed the plot, characters, and narration of this audiobook. A historical mystery that feels both delightfully stylized and contemporary.

I’ll

Poorly written and poorly edited . I am not interested in a series. Too many errors
