Masked danger… Lady Alkmene Callender has always loved grand parties, but when she receives an invitation to a masked ball thrown by Franklin Hargrove – oil magnate, aviation enthusiast and father of her best friend, Denise – she’s never seen such luxury. The estate is lit up with Chinese lanterns in the gardens, boats operated by footmen float across the pond and the guest list features the distinguished, rich and powerful! But below the glamour, evil is lurking. When a dead body is discovered, it forces Lady Alkmene to throw off her mask and attempt to find the true killer before Denise’s family are accused. If only her partner, Jake Dubois, weren’t hiding something from her… This case might just be more dangerous than either of them could have imagined. MY REVIEW When Lady Alkmene Callender attends a masked ball thrown in the home of her best friend, Denise, the last thing she expects is to be thrown into a murder scene but that is exactly what happens. Surrounded by the trappings and beauty of wealth and privilege, a dark force writhes and slithers and it will be up to Alkmene with the help of the dashing Jake Dubois, to make sure an innocent person does not take the fall for the real murderer. But as they inch closer to the truth, they will find themselves in dangerous water and who knows what might happen... Harking back to the mysteries of old, FATAL MASQUERADE by Vivian Conroy is a dynamic murder mystery that will have you playing detective alongside the esteemed Lady Alkene and Jake. With plenty of subterfuge, twists, and clues, I really got into this story and didn't notice the hours pass as I was transported back in time. The setting is amazing and really comes alive, and the cast of characters are hypnotic as always. While FATAL MASQUERADE is the fourth book in this series, it can easily be read as a standalone, but when you find a wonderful series like this you should spoil yourself and buy the lot! FATAL MASQUERADE by Vivian Conroy is everything you want in a murder mystery and I highly recommend it! Author Bio: Vivian Conroy discovered Agatha Christie at 13 and quickly devoured all Poirot and Miss Marple stories. Over time Lord Peter Wimsey and Brother Cadfael joined her favorite sleuths. Even more fun than reading was thinking up her own fog-filled alleys, missing heirs and priceless artifacts. So Vivian created feisty Lady Alkmene and enigmatic reporter Jake Dubois sleuthing in 1920s London and the countryside, first appearing in A PROPOSAL TO DIE FOR (published by Carina UK/Harper Collins).
