Murder never goes out of fashion—especially in 1920s high society.
Norwich, 1922. When a glamorous model is shot mid-stride at a high-society fashion show, Eleanor, Dowager Duchess of Drakeford, wastes no time assembling her unconventional team: her unflappable assistant Rex Sutherland and Inspector Whipple of Scotland Yard. But before they can make sense of the crime, another young woman is found dead—this time in a far more brutal manner.
As whispers of scandal ripple through the drawing rooms of the elite, all signs point to the elusive Three Circles Society—a secretive group with powerful members and dangerous motives. With reputations at stake and the body count rising, the trio must navigate a world of silk, shadows, and scandal to expose the truth hiding beneath the glamour.
A Dapper Murder is the third mystery in the Rex & the Dowager series—perfect for fans of Golden Age whodunnits, witty dialogue, and sleuths who know their way around both crime scenes and champagne.
Keith Finney writes mystery stories steeped in the haunting beauty and rich history of Norfolk, England. A lifelong history enthusiast, he spends his free time unearthing the past through organized metal detecting—always hoping for buried treasure (or at least a good story). His own career has been as varied as his hobbies: from selling ice cream to teaching on cruise ships, crafting furniture to lecturing in further education, where he eventually became a college Assistant Principal. Now retired, Keith spins tales of intrigue, spoils his grandchildren, and cheerfully torments his family with his latest historical curiosities.
