The Rose Garden Engagement

There is nothing quite like an engagement party in a lovely garden, especially when that garden is on the rooftop of the Regal Rose Hotel. At least until the groom-to-be goes missing, leaving only a pool of blood the perfect shade of a crimson rose. As a witness to a crime that nobody saw, Lola is once more up to her strand of ruby beads in the investigation. And against the express orders of Detective Inspector Arthur Blythe, Lola enlists the help of her dear friends to learn what befell the groom.

Their search takes them from the elegance of the rooftop gardens to the dark recesses of the hotel's lower basement. When questions begin causing rifts between Lola's friends and family, the need for answers becomes even more dire. Can Lola navigate the prickly maze of old traditions? Or will she lose herself in the garden of modern ideals?

Check into the Regal Rose Hotel, the new posh and elegant hotel catering to the rich, famous, and eccentric in Jazz Age London. Sip sweet rose tea, delight in rosewater bonbons, and sit with Lola Rose and her companions as they indulge in jazz, cocktails, rumors, and mysteries.
