MURDER IN MAYFAIR is Book 2 in MARILYN CLAY's Juliette Abbott Regency Mystery Series. Having returned to London from Morland Manor, clever, young Miss Juliette Abbott and her former employer's niece Miss Cathleen Haworth, are cataloging the late Lady Carstairs' priceless artifacts in order to sell them to a London Curiosity Dealer, but before the girls can approach the handsome man, he turns up dead! With only two likely suspects and no funds to hire a Bow Street detective to investigate the crime, Juliette takes on the task of solving the mystery herself.

Attempting to uncover who killed the kind gentleman, who made female hearts flutter and whom everyone declares was the most thoughtful man alive, keeps Juliette awake at night and on her toes each day. Can she succeed without putting herself in jeopardy, or will the killer strike again before Juliette can sort out the puzzle?

“A fine Regency mystery brimming with suspense and intrigue, and seasoned with just a hint of romance. Witty and outspoken, Juliette Abbott is a first-rate, fast-thinking young sleuth! Very well-done, indeed!” – Regency Mystery Reviews.
