Perfect forgeries, priceless secrets, and a legacy of lies... London, Summer 1927 . Amateur sleuth Beatrice — now newly Worthington — should be basking in newlywed bliss, but when she attends an exclusive art exhibition at the Mayfair Hotel, celebration quickly turns to suspicion. A brilliant art restorer's demanding perfectionism masks darker motives, while a prestigious inspector's presence hints at troubles beyond the ongoing dock workers' strikes. The evening takes a deadly turn when a friend of Beatrice’s is found murdered. With the hotel sealed off due to civil unrest, Beatrice finds herself trapped among suspects – each connected to the shadowy legacy of a legendary forger. Meanwhile, her dear friend Vivian confronts painful truths about her father's past involvement in the art world's darkest corners. As Beatrice and Arthur race against time to prevent crucial evidence from disappearing forever, they uncover a web of ruined reputations, destroyed careers, and desperate souls pushed to breaking point by the pursuit of artistic perfection. Can they expose the truth behind the forgeries before the murderer strikes again? London’s Lethal Legacy is the gripping finale to C J Arden's charming Beatrice Holloway Mystery series. Set against the glittering backdrop of 1920s London's art scene, it weaves together family loyalty, artistic integrity, and redemption into a masterpiece of mystery. Perfect for fans of Miss Marple who enjoy their crime stories with a dash of culture and a heart of gold!
