Amazon Description: 

It was the most fashionable place to stay in London, until murder made a reservation. Solve the puzzle in this new cozy historical mystery from USA Today bestselling author of the Glass and Steele series.

December 1899. After the death of her beloved grandmother, Cleopatra Fox moves into the luxury hotel owned by her estranged uncle in the hopes of putting hardship and loneliness behind her. But the poisoning of a guest on Christmas Eve throws her new life, and the hotel, into chaos.

Cleo quickly realizes no one can be trusted, not Scotland Yard and especially not the hotel’s charming assistant manager. With the New Year’s Eve ball approaching fast and the hotel’s reputation hanging by a thread, Cleo must find the killer before the ball, and the hotel itself, are ruined. But catching a murderer proves just as difficult as navigating the hotel’s hierarchy and the peculiarities of her family.

Can Cleo find the killer before the new century begins? Or will someone get away with murder?

Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff 
I do so love a good cozy mystery. 

Set that mystery in London? Even better. 

Victorian London? Tell me more.

In a Victorian London hotel? Just take my money and give me the book already.

(In case you were not aware, I have spent the vast majority of my post-pubescent life working in hotels. I started in high school .... almost thirty years ago. No one has been killed .... yet ....)

I've heard about C.J. Archer. According to Amazon I even have one of her Emily Chambers books collecting dust in the far recesses of my Kindle .... and I've had it since February .... of 2014.

Whoops.

After Murder at the Mayfair Hotel, I don't foresee Archer getting lost in the shuffle again. At least, not any more than any of my other go-to authors because I definitely foresee her being added to that list. It was such a fun romp of a book. I found the teaser for the Teaser Tuesday blip at the 20% mark and then I found another that I wanted to use .... and another .... and about six or seven more. I had to stick with the first one, though, since it was the first one that made me think "Yep. Cleo's my girl."
