💍 Three ex-husbands. Two ex-wives.
⚰️ One shocking murder.
🍸 A wedding that's the talk of the town...
Tudor Close Hotel, Rottingdean, is the most glamorous venue of the season. And not somewhere Virginia or her sister Vanessa would usually choose to frequent. They're far happier at home with their writing or painting, than brushing shoulders with debutantes or starlets.
But Lady Ottoline has had a difficult year, so - despite her rather outlandish tastes - they let her choose the meeting spot. And when the group bumps into fashion designer Mimi Mason in the hotel bar, they begrudgingly accept an invite to her wedding breakfast the next morning.
No one imagined that, a few cocktails later, Mimi would be dead.
As the sisters are drawn into a new case, it becomes clear that someone meticulously planned this murder. Beneath the glittering exterior, there was a dark side to this beautiful bride - and every wedding guest had a reason to sabotage this happy union.
But which one of them decided it was time to give Mimi a taste of her own poison?

Kathryn M, Reviewer
This was a strong sequel in the Woolf & Bell Mystery series, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this. It had that mystery element that I was looking for and enjoyed from the previous entry. It felt like the same world and was glad everything was told. Ciar Byrne has a strong writing style and way of telling stories. I can't wait for more in this series and from Ciar Byrne.
