Being in is everything.
Calliope Foster is standing, Pimms in hand, under tasteful bunting at a Richmond garden party. She's here to toast her best friend's engagement.
Being out is murder.
Meanwhile, just a stone's throw away, police are pulling a body out of the river Thames. The drowning appears to be a tragic accident but as Detective Inspector Caius Beauchamp is about to discover, the death is connected to this gathering of who's who in a way that could very well spell scandal.
There may be a wedding to plan, but a dead body will unravel even the best-laid plans . . .
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW . . . Fabulously plotted, excellent characters and what a twist at the end.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book is unputdownable (just like the last). I am just annoyed at myself at how quickly I read it!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Filled with dead bodies, shocking twists and surprises, and even romance, this second book in the series is as good if not better than the first.
