This is the first I've read in this series, the second one produced, and I was greatly impressed. The characters are all well developed and each is fascinating in her or his own right. Brittney has a fast moving, descriptive plot that keeps the reader guessing. I enjoyed the diverse characters and backgrounds, with a bit of social history included, as well as the camaraderie that develops in the story. It's easy to get hooked into this unorthodox group of detecting women and men. Well done! Readers will look forward to more in this series.

This is an excellent second entry of the Mayfair 100 series. What makes this series so great to me is the absolutely wonderful characters and their various relationships (friendships, family and potentially romantic). The setting in WWI era London is a fascinating era for these books, with that time period bring when woman had roles outside of their "typical" stay at home and have children role.

In this one, a Duke's sister, who writes scandalous columns on sordid details of the lives of the upper crust, is found hanged and her mother is convinced she was murdered. The investigation into who killed her has many twists and turns and was well written. The character growth into the members of the Mayfair 100 during this was great to read as well.

Definitely a must read if you like historical fiction.

This is a story that tells more than just a murder. The author has picked the time wisely in allowing the reader to explore war ravaged London with the population of women and wounded or older men and children. This allows her to explore the role of women using an unofficial police group composed of educated women who are unable to exist in a man’s world but can excel in a world short of males. The chief character is Chief Inspector Beech who is struggling to solve crimes involving women. Police women are not an acceptable solution for his superiors so he conceives of a group of women and begins to solve crimes. The characters are believable and very likable. The pacing is good. You want to know these women and men and have them as friends. Nothing they do seems out of character or out of the ordinary for capable women and men. I did not want this one to end and I will look for more by this author.

A murder mystery that's a bit different.
A Death in Chelsea is the second in the Mayfair 100 mystery series. I haven't read the first but this stands alone and you get to know the characters and their relationships quickly.
I really liked the fact that there is a team of people solving the murder and that they all bring different skills and take on specific roles.
There lots of period detail and WW1 and the impact it has on individuals and society as a whole looms over the book.
Will definitely look out for more of this series in future.
Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy in return for an honest review

Death in Chelsea took my attention from minute one. I recommend reading it because I loved the way it explains how women entered in a world of men with good results even though many didn’t recognize their contributions during the war. I didn’t expect the results of the investigation and that’s another reason to recommend this book.

Thanks to Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for a copy of this book to read and review
