Fortune's Final Frenzy (A Lord and Lady Crosswick Mystery)($17.99Value)

Description

What could be better than a ski weekend in the Alps filled with fresh snow, cozy fires, and … murder? Since inheriting a billion pounds and a title, Philip and Genevieve Warwick have experienced life as few can imagine. They live in luxury, travel in style, hobnob with the global elite, and use their wealth and position to champion art around the world. They have estates and chateaux in Europe, an old and respected family name, a loyal and dedicated staff—everything they could possibly want. They’ve even inherited a family ghost. But all is not Champagne and Chagalls. When the Warwicks are invited to a ski chalet—let’s face it, it’s a castle—in the Austrian Alps by Baron Friedrich “Freddie” von Bassewitz to enjoy some skiing and talk some art business with a few mutual friends, they’ve barely unpacked before the mountains are engulfed in a wicked blizzard and the castle is snowed in. Now Freddie, his new wife, and the family patriarch are behaving oddly. Worse, just before the blizzard sets in, Philip and Genevieve are contacted by DCI Francis Darlington of the Met, who pulls them into his search for art stolen in a Boston heist thirty-five years ago. The Warwicks love a good house party, but this one may be the death of them. Fortune’s Final Frenzy is a classic whodunit in the Agatha Christie style, that will keep you reading to the last satisfying page. The mix of art intrigue, high-profile estates, and carefully orchestrated crime investigations elevates an already fantastic, in-depth storyline. The characters, led by Philip and Genevieve, are an eclectic bunch, and, of course, followers of the series will be familiar with its ghostly elements, as we get to see the spirit of Charlotte in play. Each revelation, twist, and encounter is better than the last, and, overall, this novel is an outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable fourth addition to the Lord and Lady Crosswick mystery series. - Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite (five stars) ... [A] wild ride from the start with tons of quirky personalities interacting, all while Philip and Genevieve are still trying to navigate the waters of their new world.... I really enjoyed the way the story unfolded, [and] learning about Freddie and Angelina's relationship offers a nice hint of extra drama while trying to figure out who did it. The plot is woven with dry humor that keeps the story entertaining in spite of the darker topics of the main storyline. The story is well-written and very entertaining until the very end. - Natasha Jackson for Readers' Favorite During the pandemic when Tana started her debut novel, she had no idea she would turn out to be a mystery writer until halfway through Money, Murder, Mayhem. She also had no idea that four years later she would have completed a mystery series. But now, with four books under her belt, she finally feels comfortable calling herself an author, and she loves the genre. In her Lord and Lady Crosswick Mystery series, Tana draws on her years of travel with her husband, Tom, her passion for art, antiques, fine food, beautiful wine, inspiring places, and interesting people, to create Crimes with Culture. Now that she's written Philip and Genevieve Warwick's last rollicking adventure, she's teeming with ideas for her next novel...it's going to be a doozy!
