The In Crowd

'A total joy to read.' Harriet Tyce

'Confirms Charlotte Vassell as one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.' Erin Kelly

'A stylish saga of cops and inverted snobbery.' The Times

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

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

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

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