MURDER IN MANHATTAN IBD

Sinopsi

Glitzy parties, sightseeing at the Statue of Liberty and strolls through Central Park with Gladstone the bulldog... Lady Eleanor Swift is loving her first trip to the city that never sleeps, until she witnesses a murder!áAfter crossing from England on the SS Celestiana, Lady Eleanor Swift sets up her home-away-from-home in a lavish apartment in New York City. She is soon the toast of the town, with no high-class soirée complete without her presence. Of course, she drags her butler Clifford and Gladstone the bulldog along to every party too.áBut when she witnesses the charming doorman of her building, Marty, knocked down and killed in a hit-and-run, she finds fashionable society suddenly closes rank. The only local detective interested in helping her find the culprit is street-smart beat cop, Officer Balowski.áResolved to get justice for Marty and his family, Eleanor searches MartyâÇÖs tiny apartment: and is shocked to find five rolls of banknotes tucked under the floorboards. Money talks, but Marty was struggling to make ends meet, so where did the cash come from?áThe next day wealthy entrepreneur and flashy philanderer Ogden P. Dellaney - a man Marty used to work for - is found dead downtown, miles away from his swanky Upper East Side mansion. Eleanor and Balowski are sure the deaths are connected, but not even DellaneyâÇÖs wife is willing to answer their questions.áThen Eleanor is served with an eviction notice and Balowski is fired from the NYPD. It becomes clear that something is rotten in the Big Apple and Eleanor is determined to get to the core of the mystery before the murderer strikes again...áMurder in Manhattan is a fun, fast-paced and twisty Golden Age cozy mystery set in New York. Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Lee Strauss will be glued to the pages.áReaders cannot get enough of Verity Bright!áâÇÖUnputdownable... Had me hooked immediately... Filled with suspense...
