about book:
Inspired by Agatha Christie's real-life Detection Club, a murder among a group of golden age mystery writers meets a second chance romance in this debut novel from author Jackie McMahon.
London, 1930. Lucy Hubbard is on the cusp of achieving her dreams. With her first mystery novel debuting with strong sales and glowing reviews, she's been invited by Horace Hazelmoor, the king of crime fiction, to join his elite group of writers—the Cloak and Dagger Club.
Thrilled at the opportunity, Lucy finds herself swept up into Horace's glamorous world at the Ritz hotel. She's even willing to put up with the inconvenient presence of her former fiancé, Frank Murray, the club's rising star who is on track to eclipse Horace as Britain's most popular crime writer.
But when Horace is found with a knife in his back, Frank is the police's prime suspect. Despite their complicated history, Lucy knows he's not capable of murder. With suspects galore and the danger rising, these two mystery writers must race to solve the crime—and fight their lingering feelings for each other—before the murderer strikes again.
my thoughts
An elite group of writers - that alone has me reaching for the book. Plus, a club called The Cloak and Dagger Club- how cool is that? Oh, and they are meeting up at the Ritz hotel - how chic is that? London, 1930 is calling and I am most definitely answering, because I have to find out what this writers' club is all about and did I mention that there's been a murder. Yep, looks like THE top crime writer had an enemy and was stabbed in the back - literally! Whoa! And, that is all I will share about this fun and thrilling mystery. Make sure to grab a copy and get stuck in - you are going to enjoy every second you spend with The Cloak and Dagger Club.
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book!
