Reseña de The Mitford Affair

The Mitford Affair de Jessica Fellowes Resumen del Libro

***PLEASE NOTE: The Mitford Affair was previously published as Bright Young Dead***

'Absolute blissikins. Set in 1925, The Mitford Affair is a delightful mashup of real and fictional characters'
GUARDIAN

As the glamour of the Bright Young Things crashes into the world of the Mitford sisters, their maid Louisa Cannon finds herself at the scene of a gripping murder mystery.

Meet the Bright Young Things, the rabble-rousing hedonists of the 1920s whose treasure hunts were a media obsession. One such game takes place at the 18th birthday party of Pamela Mitford, but ends in tragedy as cruel, charismatic Adrian Curtis is pushed to his death from the church neighbouring the Mitford home.

The police quickly identify the killer as a maid, Dulcie. But Louisa Cannon, chaperone to the Mitford girls and a former criminal herself, believes Dulcie to be innocent, and sets out to clear the girl's name . . . all while the real killer may only be steps away.
