Summary
A seaside party at a Cornish mansion with plenty of fizz, what could be more perfect? But something fishy is afoot...a killer lurks among the guests, and only Cressida Fawcett can stop them.
When Cressida Fawcett is invited to stay at Penbeagle House on the Cornish coast for a fancy-dress ball, she is looking forward to sipping rum cocktails clad as a pirate, watching the red-sailed boats go by, and relaxing in the sea air with her good friend Dotty. But before they can raise their glasses to toast Cressida’s former flame Lord Canterbury’s engagement, he drops dead in front of the horrified guests.
The local doctor determines that Lord Canterbury was poisoned, and soon Detective Chief Inspector Andrews is on his way from Scotland Yard. But Cressida is dismayed by the murder of the intrepid explorer who once asked for her hand in marriage, and she cannot simply leave the case to the police. Together with Dotty and her little pug Ruby, Cressida searches for clues only to discover that many of the guests have a motive for murder. Did an irate journalist or a bitter fellow explorer send Lord Canterbury on his untimely final journey?
And when a young maid is found dead, floating in the shimmering waters of the cove, Cressida knows time is running out to catch the killer. Could a clue hidden among some rather pungent crab sandwiches help her solve the case before there is another murder?
A witty and totally addictive cozy mystery packed with intrigue and glamour. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey, and Lee Strauss.

Interesting story but issues with the narration.
I liked the story but in future, I will read the books. The narrator pronounced certain words incorrectly and unfortunately, it just became irritating. Morwenna, pronounced Morweena for starters.

Absolutely brilliant!
I have really enjoyed this number 2 in the Cressida Fawcett series. The plot is very clever to keep the reader in suspense throughout and then surprising twists at the end . The narrator is just perfect for the book and I really felt immersed in the story and the various characters .
I’m very much looking forward to the sequel coming out and to see what happens to Cressy, Dotty and Ruby in the Highlands!

Usual Fliss brilliance
Highly recommended to fans of locked room mysteries of Agatha Christie or Johnathan Creek. Brilliantly written, funny and clever
