Description
From Paris runways to country manors, danger is always in fashion.
Journalist Ariadne Winter leaves behind the glamour of the 1958 Paris runways for her cousin’s engagement at Ballyford Manor in Ireland. But the celebration turns grim when a body is found among the castle ruins.
The inspector calls it an accident—Ariadne isn’t convinced. As she digs into the O’Connell family’s secrets, old grudges and buried scandals begin to surface. With her sharp wit and relentless drive, Ariadne uncovers a legacy someone is desperate to keep hidden… and they’ll do anything to silence her.
Even if it means making Ariadne the next victim.
Advance Praise
"Butler writes with a richness that suits the gothic setting. Her descriptions of the Irish landscape: the “Kelly-green rolling hills,” the fog-shrouded cliffs, the eerie silhouette of the ruined castle, give the novel an atmospheric backdrop. At the same time, the dialogue sparkles with wit, especially in Ariadne’s exchanges. I appreciated that the book never slipped into melodrama; even in its most tense moments, it grounded itself in relationships and believable emotions." - 5/5 Seattle Book Review
