This was purchased on the amazon dot ca site.Lady Malvern is a fashion designer and well established at the fashion houses in Paris.  Her birthday celebration is attended by her longtime and smitten friend,  Detective Jules Poiret along with his friend, Captain Haven from London, England.Unfortunately, Lady Malvern is found dead the morning after her birthday party by Millie the Maid.This book is a crime novel from the British detective series Jules Poiret - originating in the early twentieth century but still very popular today due to the penmanship of the author.The writer keeps the reader guessing in terms of "who done it" and Detective Poiret, true to style,  treats everyone "as a person of interest".  As the investigation is carried out, a number of truths  unravel, secrets which were probably best kept buried.  It is not until the very end that the reader finally finds out who the real guilty party is.This book is a timeless classic and a true page turner, one in which it is extremely difficult to put down until finished.  For its ability to fascinate, I give it five stars
