The Last Minute Murder

Newly returned to London after settling family affairs in West Texas, Lola is looking forward to the second annual New Year's Eve Gala at the Regal Rose Hotel. She has the perfect dress, but she needs the perfect date. When she finds that the handsome Detective Inspector Arthur Blythe is not available, his older brother, Harry, offers to escort her. But when Harry stumbles during the final dance before midnight, it isn't from too much champagne. He's been stabbed.

Who would want to harm the amiable Lord Harry Blythe? As Lola attempts to help solve the mystery, the Blythe family suddenly circle the wagons and not even Arthur will let her in. Lola, however, has come to care too much for the Blythes to watch from afar. Fortunately she finds an accomplice willing to defy the family. Can Lola and her friends uncover the secrets the Blythe family wants to keep buried so they can find the culprit who wants Harry dead?

Check into the Regal Rose Hotel, the posh and elegant hotel catering to the rich, famous, and eccentric in Jazz Age London. Get a manicure at the salon, have a soak at the Turkish bath, and join Lola Rose and her companions as they indulge in jazz, cocktails, romance, and mysteries.
