How can you solve a murder before it's happened? 'This is my challenge for you,' the woman in white said. 'I want you to solve my murder.' London, 1930s: Rachel Savernake has been invited to a private view of an art exhibition at a fashionable gallery. The artist, Damaris Gethin, known as 'the Queen of Surrealism', is debuting a show featuring live models pretending to be waxworks of famous killers. Before her welcoming speech, Damaris asks a haunting favour of the amateur sleuth: she wants Rachel to solve her murder. As Damaris takes to a stage set with a guillotine, the lights go out. There is a cry and the blade falls. Damaris has executed herself. While Rachel questions why Damaris would take her own life and just what she meant by 'solve my murder' fellow party guest Jacob Flint is chasing a lead on a glamorous socialite with a sordid background. As their paths merge, this case of false identities, blackmail, and fedora-adorned doppelgngers, will descend upon a grand home on Sepulchre Street, where nothing and no one is quite what it seems. Rachel Savernake faces her most puzzling murder yet in this glamorous gothic mystery from the winner of the CWA Diamond Dagger. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman. Praise for Martin Edwards: 'Superb a pitch-perfect blend of Golden Age charm and sinister modern suspense... This is the book Edwards was born to write.' Lee Child 'Edwards has managed, brilliantly, to combined a Golden Age setting with a pace that is bang up-to-date.' Peter James

Not too impressed with the first few chapters, but let's see how it goes.

Admittedly I was unaware that this was the latest in a series of books. That said, this book stands on its own, I only wish I‘d had more awareness of the character‘s motivations. This book starts off with such an interesting hook and disappointingly becomes secondary to the bigger plot point.
Thanks to Aria & Aries for granting me the opportunity to read this ARC via #Netgalley for my honest review. The bonus is I was introduced to a new series!
