\u2018A Proposal to Die For is wonderfully smooth and glamorous, in the style of Agatha Christie combined with the beauty of Gatsby.\u2019 \u2013 The Storycollector Blog<\/p>\n

\u2018When it\u2019s as charming as A Proposal to Die For, mystery and history make the most wonderful combination.\u2019 \u2013 Little Bookness Lane<\/p>\n

A dead art collector. A mysterious heiress. From the London tea rooms to the fog-shrouded Dartmoor countryside, can novice detective Lady Alkmene crack the case?<\/p>\n

When Lady Alkmene reads in the newspaper about a mysterious death, she is convinced it is connected with the glamourous Broadway star, Evelyn Steinbeck, who recently came to town and is suddenly heiress to a large fortune.<\/p>\n

Alkmene is determined to dig into Ms. Steinbeck’s past, but her investigations are hampered by an infuriatingly opinionated reporter. Raised with a grudge against anybody with privilege, Jake Dubois is determined to prove the ‘debutante detective’ is out of her depth.<\/p>\n

Working as much against as with each other in their pursuit of the killer, Alkmene and her new-found ‘ally’ uncover an explosive mixture of passion, greed and revenge that pushes their resolve and survival skills to the limits.<\/p>\n

Can they rely on each other, despite their differences, to catch a clever killer before he catches them?<\/p>\n

The twenties have never been so dangerous! Join Lady Alkmene on her hunt for missing heirs, stolen diamonds and legendary treasures in the Lady Alkmene Mysteries:<\/p>\n

1. A Proposal to Die For<\/p>\n

2. Diamonds of Death<\/p>\n

3. Deadly Treasures<\/p>\n

4. A Fatal Masquerade<\/p>\n

Packed with glamour, danger, eccentric characters and atmospheric locations, each book can be read as standalone and in random order.<\/p>\n

Praise for Vivian Conroy<\/p>\n

\u2018The first in a new series, this is a well written historical mystery with just a hint of attitude.\u2019 Cayocosta72 \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n

\u2018Wow, I very much loved this book. It is the first I’ve read by Vivian but most definitely will not be the last.\u2019 Reader review \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n

\u2018Ms Conroy\u2019s writing is fresh and entertaining, it\u2019s like an episode of Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries sprinkled with what I can only describe as a good old-fashioned Miss Marple.\u2019 Reader review \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n

\u2018Both the story and characters were well written and whenever I had to put the book down I couldn\u2019t wait to start reading again.\u2019 Reader review \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n

\u2018This would suit anyone who has not so far stepped into the world of cosy mysteries and if you are already a fan, this will not disappoint.\u2019 Reader review \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n

\u2018Loved every minute of this.\u2019 Reader review \u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/p>\n
