"This is a truly unique and enjoyable series of reinvention and, oddly enough, acceptance." - Kings River Life MagazineAllison Campbell accepted a dream assignment: a visit to the Italian Dolomites to help Hollywood socialite Elle Rose reinvent herself. A guest cottage on the grounds of Elle's historic castle promises to be a much-needed respite from Allison's harried life on the Philadelphia Main Line, and the picturesque region, with its sharp peaks, rolling pastures, and medieval churches, is the perfect spot from which to plan her upcoming wedding.Only this idyllic retreat is anything but peaceful. There are the other visitors--an entourage of back-biting expats and Hollywood VIPs. There's Elle's famous rock star father, now a shadowy recluse hovering behind the castle's closed doors. And then there's Elle's erratic behavior. Nothing is as it seems. After a guest plummets to her death from a cliff on the castle grounds, Allison's trip of a lifetime turns nightmarish--but before she can journey home, Allison must catch a killer."Nancy Drew gets a fierce makeover in Wendy Tyson's daringly dark, yet ever fashion-conscious mystery series....Tyson imbues her characters with emotional depth amidst wit, ever maintaining the pulse rate." - Deborah Cloyed, Author of What Tears Us Apart"The Allison Campbell mystery series is not to be missed!" - Laura Morrigan, Author of the Call of the Wilde MysteriesRelated subjects include: cozy mysteries, women sleuths, whodunit mysteries (whodunnit), murder mystery series, amateur sleuth books, mysteries and thrillers, suspense.Books in the Allison Campbell Mystery Series: KILLER IMAGE (#1) DEADLY ASSETS (#2) DYING BRAND (#3) FATAL FACADE (#4)Part of the Henery Press Mystery Series Collection, if you like one, you'll probably like them all...

Fatal Facade | Wendy Tyson
Pickpick

Ms. Tyson incorporates two of my favorite classic mystery styles into this cozy. The first is that of the secluded country house, setting Fatal Facade at a large (and isolated) castle in the beautiful Italian countryside. The second is the mystery itself – a “locked room” variety – in other words, the suspects are limited to those who were on the estate when the murder occurred. It's a fun read.
