Fatal Masquerade (A Lady Alkmene Cosy Mystery, Book 4)

Today I am delighted to be taking part in this wonderful blog tour for the latest Lady Alkmene series ''Fatal Masquerade'' by Vivian Conroy.
About the book
Lady Alkmene and Jake Dubois are back in a gripping new adventure facing dangerous opponents at a masked ball in the countryside.
Masked danger…
Lady Alkmene Callender has always loved grand parties, but when she receives an invitation to a masked ball thrown by Franklin Hargrove – oil magnate, aviation enthusiast and father of her best friend, Denise – she’s never seen such luxury. The estate is lit up with Chinese lanterns in the gardens, boats operated by footmen float across the pond and the guest list features the distinguished, rich and powerful!
But below the glamour, evil is lurking. When a dead body is discovered, it forces Lady Alkmene to throw off her mask and attempt to find the true killer before Denise’s family are accused. If only her partner, Jake Dubois, weren’t hiding something from her…
This case might just be more dangerous than either of them could have imagined.
My Review
Firstly I just want to say that I love the cover for this book, I really think it is perfect and suits the story so so well! 
So you may have noticed I don't normally read this genre of book but I took part in a blog tour for another book by Vivian Conroy 'Rubies in the Roses' and I found I really enjoyed it so when I knew Vivian had a new book out I got extremely excited and started reading as soon as I could.  Again I was really impressed with it and found myself hooked on the book! 
I hadn't been introduced to Lady Alkmene before so I was really impressed when I started reading the book.  I just love her character she is defiantly someone I would love to know in the real life world.
The thing that kept me gripped was the whole mystery to the book and playing detective trying to work out what was going on and the ''whole who done it'' I loved that the mystery wasn't predictable and I was left guessing right until the end, and that was something that really made me happy because with a lot of books I have read before they are very predicable and you know what is going to happen. 
I have got to say the whole 1920's vibe in this book is just spot on and I could imagine every part so clearly! 
The way Vivian has wrote Fatal Masquerade is utterly fantastic, with every page I truly felt I was there with all the characters.

A really enjoyable and very glamorous read!
