Miss Fisher meets Downton
Abbey in Tell Me No Lies, part of the critically acclaimed Lady
Dunbridge Mystery series from New York Times bestselling author
Shelley Noble.
Rise and shine, Countess,
you’re about to have a visitor.
Lady Dunbridge was not about to let a little thing
like the death of her husband ruin her social life. She’s come to
New York City, ready to take the dazzling world of Gilded Age
Manhattan by storm. The social events of the summer have been amusing
but Lady Phil is searching for more excitement---and she finds it,
when an early morning visitor arrives, begging for her help. After
all, Lady Phil has been known to be useful in a crisis. Especially
when the crisis involves the untimely death of a handsome young
business tycoon.
His death could send another financial panic
through Wall Street and beyond.
With the elegant Plaza Hotel, Metropolitan Museum
of Art and the opulent mansions of Long Island’s Gold Coast as the
backdrop, romance, murder, and scandals abound. Someone simply must
do something. And Lady Dunbridge is happy to oblige.
Review: I've read most of Shelley's contemporary novels and I have to say that Tell Me No Lies ranks right up there. If you love Rhys Bowen's style mysteries, you'll love this series too. Its the perfect mix of historical fiction and cozy mystery. This is the second book in the series, but don't worry you can dive right in
Set in the early 1900s, we meet Lady Dunbridge a destitute widow that has fled to New York and now she finds herself investigating the death of a young businessman who was the suitor for a friend's daughter.
There's a lot going on in Phil's life, a little romance, possibly a love triangle because Mr. X and the detective I think have a thing for her. She's definitely a modern lady or perhaps a merry widow would be a better description.
What starts out as just a murder of a young rich man, turns into something much more as Phil and her friends start investigating. There are so many possible reasons that someone might want Perry dead and a business dealing that isn't on the up and up. Lots of red herrings and loads of intrigue that will keep the reader guessing until the very end.
This was a delightful mystery that will keep the pages turning from start to finish with all the fun characters! I can't wait for more.
