Synopsis

"True and glorious indulgence. A dazzling example of a golden age mystery." — Daisy Goodwin, author of Victoria and The American Heiress on The Mitford Murders

Set amid the legendary Mitford household, Bright Young Dead is the second audiobook in the thrilling, Golden Age-style Mitford Murders series by Jessica Fellowes, author of the New York Times bestselling Downton Abbey books.

Meet the Bright Young Things, the rabble-rousing hedonists of the 1920s whose treasure hunts were a media obsession. One such game takes place at the 18th birthday party of Pamela Mitford, but ends in tragedy as cruel, charismatic Adrian Curtis is pushed to his death from the church neighbouring the Mitford home.

The police quickly identify the killer as a maid, Dulcie. But Louisa Cannon, chaperone to the Mitford girls and a former criminal herself, believes Dulcie to be innocent, and sets out to clear the girl's name . . . all while the real killer may only be steps away.

There were some things that came out as… random or just straight up......more

Goodreads review by Shawn on March 24, 2023

I've heard that British public quickly can identify an American pretender. And here we have one- a book that is set in 1920's England, but is so obviously written by an American who doesn't care about accurate representation, that it is painful, even to me and I'm not British. 1st clue: turkey at Chr......more

Goodreads review by Johanna on June 27, 2019

I was really tempted to give this book just one star, but since I managed to finish it I suppose I should be a bit more generous. But I didn't care for the book at all, I thought it was a bit of a mess with interwoven storylines that didn't make a lot of sense, and the conclusion was confusing. I qu......more

Goodreads review by Lucía on October 27, 2019

Acostumbrada a las novelas de Agatha Christie, que resultan maravillosas pero muy ligeras, no debería sorprenderme que otras se me hagan más pesadas o densas, y es que Un cadáver con clase es un poquito lenta, pero en esta en concreto he tenido el problema de que todos los personajes secundarios se......more
