Story
England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

Story
Librarian Sylvia Ashe knows nothing about her past, having grown up without a father and a mother who refused to discuss him. When she stumbles upon a diary that suggests she's descended from magicians, she's skeptical. After all, magicians are special, and she's just an ordinary woman who loves books. She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

The Christmas trees in Knightsbridge sparkle with festive joy, and there’s nothing more fun than Christmas cocktail parties to ring in the new year of 1922. Camille Divine, known as Lady Camille Divine, has decorated her little house in Birdcage Mews with glistening decorations and a beautiful Christmas tree, but she has more on her mind than the festive season.
Written by: Andrea Hicks
Publisher's Summary
It was the most fashionable place to stay in London, until murder made a reservation. Solve the puzzle in this new mystery from USA Today bestselling author of the Glass and Steele series.
December 1899. After the death of her beloved grandmother, Cleopatra Fox moves into the luxury hotel owned by her estranged uncle in the hopes of putting hardship and loneliness behind her. But the poisoning of a guest throws her new life, and the hotel, into chaos.
Cleo quickly realizes no one can be trusted, not Scotland Yard and especially not the hotel’s charming assistant manager. With the New Year’s Eve ball approaching fast and the hotel’s reputation hanging by a thread, Cleo must find the killer before the ball, and the hotel itself, are ruined. But catching a murderer proves just as difficult as navigating the hotel’s hierarchy and the peculiarities of her family.
Can Cleo find the killer before the new century begins? Or will someone get away with murder?

A wonderful new series.
This the first book in a new series by the amazing author, C.J. Archer. It is a historical mystery featuring a great new heroine, Cleopatra Fox, a dynamic, independent and personable woman who comes to live in a hotel with her Aunt and Uncle. Unused to living a life of luxury, and naturally curious, she sets out to solve a murder.
This turn of the twenty century cozy mystery is full of great characters. The characters are engaging, the mystery complex and the writing is amazing. This story grabs your interest from beginning to the end. The storyline is smooth and fast paced. The mystery has numerous viable suspects, lots of subtle clues, danger, suspense and a great finish. The narrative is great allowing insight into the main character’s thoughts, motivations and actions. The interactions between the characters are witty and interesting. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series.

I can't forgive her.
I have listened to every book available from CJ Archer & this is a miss for me. Cleo is not charming enough to forgive the destruction of a man's life & career. No one is.

disappointed
helps if a person likes the main character but found her to be stupid, quick to run down a bad path as a solution and just not likeable. will not continue with series. BTW, the male character was likeable, would have been better to have him as main character.

Hussey or a Lady?
Which provoked me more? I first heard Marian Hussey perform Monsters and Manners. I quickly fell in love with the narratrix and the series! Murder and the Mayfair was recommended to me on Audible and when I saw Marian's name I was sold. Next came the Lady, Cleo Fox. Her story was charming and elegant yet grimy and cheesy. Overall I adored the storyline and the characters. I kept thinking Cleo and Harry would end up together but the story (mostly) let out romance which ended in relief for this novel. Just a new girl trying to fit in while Curiosity drew her to solve a crime. Very entertaining indeed.

Annoyingly naive heroine
Cleo has few redeeming characteristics and is determined to plow down obviously incorrect avenues for 3/4 of the book. She throws people under the bus with wild accusations without a second thought, while breaking numerous rules and laws herself. Also, most of the other characters were very shallow and had personalities that vacillated from hot to cold so quickly and without reason that it felt very forced, unrealistic, and not appropriate for the time period.
The reader did a lovely job with the voices and made it easy to follow who said what.

side characters are what made this one work
Story was a bit predictable -- as was the main characters. The side characters -- the hotel staff and the Bainbridge family -- were the ones that made this bearable. Out of CJ Archer's female leads, I didn't really get Cleo. I don't understand her motivation -- she waffled between wanting to have purpose and being extremely curious, which kind of made her have an arrogant air about her.
She was also a bit of an elitist, which I didnt like.
Armitage was boring.
Marian Hussey's performance is superb as always.
