Shortlisted for the Edgar Awards

Ashley Weaver's debut mystery, Murder at the Brightwell, is a delicious, stylish novel in which murder invades British polite society and romance springs in unexpected places, and a wonderful testament to the enduring delight of the traditional mystery.

"An elegant Christie-esque 1930s romp." --Deborah Crombie

"If you love Downton Abbey, you'll adore Ashley Weaver's charming debut."--Susan Elia MacNeal

"It's more terrible than you think, Mrs. Ames. It appears that Mr. Howe was murdered."

Amory Ames, a wealthy young woman questioning her marriage to her notoriously charming playboy husband, Milo, is looking for a change. She accepts a request for help from her former fianc , Gil Trent, not knowing that she'll soon become embroiled in a murder investigation that will not only test her friendship with Gil, but also will upset the status quo with her husband.

Amory accompanies Gil to the luxurious Brightwell Hotel in an attempt to circumvent the marriage of his sister, Emmeline, to Rupert Howe a disreputable ladies man. There is more than her happiness at stake, however, when Rupert is murdered and Gil is arrested for the crime. Matters are further complicated by Milo's unexpected arrival, and as the line between friend and foe becomes less clear, Amory must decide where her heart lies and catch the killer before she, too, becomes a victim.

*BONUS CONTENT: This edition of Murder at the Brightwell includes a new introduction from the author and a discussion guide

Good price
Pretty good for the price. We move them around a lot and use them as a room divider in school. It gets roughed up and has held pretty well. Needs to be tuned up by tightening all the screws or will fall apart.

Not sturdy but does the job.
Bought this to block an electrical panel in a room. Fabric is good. Frame is good but not sturdy. Pipes would not connect without strong force and once assembled, frame bends and can easily topple over.

If you are looking for the worst… buy this
I ordered two of these for a school classroom. Not only did they not provide enough connecting screws for the wheels - in either package - they ones they did provide were too long and could not be fully screwed in. I could see if it was one of them, but both packages had the exact same error. Please don’t buy this. You will only be frustrated.
