Overview
«Una segunda entrega llena de vivacidad en la que nuestra detectiveBeatrice Steele cambia los provincianos alrededores de Swampshire por el ajetreo y el bullicio de Londres. […] ¡Larga vida para esta serie!». —Publishers Weekly
Han pasado unos meses desde que Beatrice resolvió el crimen que sacudió a su pequeño condado de Swampshire, pero no por ello ha disminuido su sed de misterio. La vida en Londres junto a la señorita Bolton, una molesta acompañante encargada de encontrarle un buen marido, alterna entre bailes estivales y presentaciones en sociedad y fugaces escapadas al nuevo despacho de detectives que regenta con el apuesto e inteligente inspector Vivek Drake.
Cuando Percival Nash, un famoso y admirado cantante de ópera londinense, les hace una visita para pedirles ayuda, los compromisos que antes parecían condicionar la libertad de Beatrice se convierten de pronto en el escenario ideal para investigar una enigmática muerte. A medida que los crímenes empiezan a sumarse, Beatrice y Vivek tendrán que integrarse en los círculos de la alta sociedad y entre los bastidores de los teatros londinenses para descubrir secretos que han permanecido guardados durante décadas y quizá también un prospecto amoroso para Beatrice.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The author of A Most Agreeable Murder is back in the series that “combines the irresistible qualities of two literary favorites of Britain and the world: the suspense of Agatha Christie and the clever frivolity of Jane Austen.” - (Silvia López, El Periódico de España)
“A vivacious second installment in which our sleuth, Beatrice Steele, trades the provincial environs of Swampshire for London’s hustle and bustle. […] This series deserves a long run.” -Publishers Weekly
A few months have passed since Beatrice solved the crime that shocked the small county of Swampshire, but her thirst for mystery is unslaked. Her life in London with the irritating Miss Bolton, the chaperone charged with finding her a husband, is a blur of summer dances and social introductions, interspersed with fleeting escapades at the new detective agency she founded with the handsome and intelligent Inspector Vivek Drake.
But when famous London opera singer Percival Nash hires their services, the social commitments Beatrice found so constraining become the perfect avenue to investigate a mysterious murder. As the death toll mounts, Beatrice and Vivek must infiltrate high society and go behind the scenes of London’s theaters to discover decades-old secrets and, perhaps, a romantic prospect for Beatrice.
