Series: Emily Cabot Mysteries #6
Genre: Historical Mystery
Amateur sleuth Emily Cabot’s journey once again takes her to a world’s fair–the Paris Exposition of 1900. Chicago socialite Bertha Palmer is named the only female U. S. commissioner to the Exposition and enlists Emily’s services as her secretary. Their visit to the House of Worth for the fitting of a couture gown is interrupted by the theft of Mrs. Palmer’s famous pearl necklace. Before that crime can be solved, several young women meet untimely deaths and a member of the Palmer’s inner circle is accused of the crimes. As Emily races to clear the family name she encounters jealous society ladies, American heiresses seeking titled European husbands, and more luscious gowns and priceless jewels. Along the way, she takes refuge from the tumult at the country estate of Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. In between her work and sleuthing, she is able to share the Art Nouveau delights of the Exposition, and the enduring pleasures of the City of Light with her family.

Another good one!! Goodness! Is this a stand-alone book or do I need to read the others in the series?
ReplyDeleteI know, there are just so many good books out right now (or coming out) to share :)! I haven't read the book or the series, so I'm not positive as to the answer to your question, but I would say that, if it fits the general pattern of books in a series, as the 6th book in the series there will probably be background information discussed in this book that took place in previous books. However, most authors seem to do a good job of making each book at least partially stand alone, so that you can enjoy it even if you haven't read the other books. Sorry I didn't have more information!
