Murder at the Fashion House by Sonia Parin

Lighthearted 1920s cozy mystery.

Evie, Countess of Woodridge, is on a mission to rescue her favorite modiste from the consequences of an unfavorable review. Her quest is a timely diversion as her granny, Toodles, appears to be suffering from a case of restlessness.

All goes well until Evie's public clash with the journalist responsible for the article is followed by the journalist's death. The circumstances are suspicious and the police is warning Evie to stay away from the case.

While she is happy to comply with the detective's request, the killer has other ideas and goes one step too far.
