Description

In his own time, George "Beau" Brummell set such restrained and elegant fashion standards as regular bathing, exquisitely tailored yet unostentatious clothing, and an end to powdered hair for men. In this wonderfully diverting historical mystery series, it is revealed that he was also an amateur sleuth of considerable skill. Agatha Awardûwinning author Rosemary Stevens, who recounted Beau's previous adventures in The Tainted Snuff Box and Death on a Silver Tray, is in top form with this elegantly written and plotted murder mystery set in Georgian England of 1806. In The Bloodied Cravat, we learn that Her Royal Highness, Frederica, the Duchess of York, wife of one of the many sons of George III, would be a lonely woman if it were not for her well-chaperoned (and invariably chaste) friendship with Beau Brummell. It's at his urging that she gives a house party, so he's determined to minimize the scandal that results when two of the guests are murdered. What he doesn't realize -- until it's nearly too late -- is that this crime is connected to a dangerous old impropriety.... Sue Stone
