The in crowd

£9.99

On the last Saturday in August, politicos and socialites trade tidbits of gossip and sips of Pimm’s under the tasteful bunting of a Richmond garden party. They’d never guess that the police are just a stone’s throw away, pulling a body out of the river Thames. The drowning appears to be a tragic accident – until Detective Caius Beauchamp gets an unexpected tip. The victim, it seems, had enemies in high places. Did being on the wrong side of them get her killed?

Being in is everything. Being out is absolute murder.

A stone’s throw away from a glamorous engagement party, the police are pulling a body out
of the river Thames. The drowning appears to be a tragic accident – until Detective Caius
Beauchamp gets an unexpected tip. The victim, it seems, had enemies in high places. Did
being on the wrong side of them get her killed?

Meanwhile, the beautiful milliner Calliope Foster, immaculate in buttermilk linen, is toasting
her dearest friend Harriet Simpson-Bamber in a Richmond garden. They have a wedding to
organise. But a dead body will unravel even the best-laid plans.

What readers are saying about Charlotte Vassell

????&#11088 WOW wish that I could give it more than five stars.
Fabulously plotted, excellent characters and what a twist at the end.

????&#11088 The book is unputdownable (just like the last). I am just annoyed at myself at how quickly I read it!

????&#11088 Delightful. Loved it. A friend bought me The Other Half last year and I devoured it. The In Crowd was no different.
