The Socialite’s Guide to Death and Dating (A Pinnacle Hotel Mystery)
by S. K. Golden
I enjoyed this read very much. The tone was fresh and unique, and the period setting was a delight. I recommend The Socialite’s Guide to Death and Dating for fans of historical mysteries, cozy mysteries, and Mid-Century New York City settings. You will enjoy this book!

The Socialite’s Guide to Death and Dating is the second book in S.K. Golden’s delightful historical mystery series set in the Pinnacle Hotel. Although I loved the first novel, I believe this one is even better. With its darker, more robust plot and endearing main character, I recommend THE SOCIALITE’S GUIDE TO DEATH AND DATING.

Though humorous THE SOCIALITE’S GUIDE TO DEATH & DATING is unexpectedly moving with surprising twists and emotional upheaval. I look forward to seeing Evelyn continue to grow and wonder just what she will have to face next!

The Socialite’s Guide to Death and Dating is a delightful return to the elegant Pinnacle Hotel. This second installment has the components that keep readers engaged–an endearing protagonist; balanced amounts of romance and drama; strong character development; a well-constructed plot; an unexpected motive; and hints of what future books in the series may bring. For all of these reasons, I eagerly anticipate the continuation of this series.

Perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Ashley Weaver, the second Pinnacle Hotel mystery finds another murder that strikes too close to home, and hotel heiress Evelyn Murphy knows she’s the only one who can save the hotel before it’s lights out.
New York, 1958. Even though Evelyn Murphy has made progress conquering her agoraphobia by leaving the Pinnacle, she still feels most comfortable in her father’s hotel. With Malcolm Cooper, her new boyfriend and fellow employee at the hotel, Evelyn feels prepared for whatever happens next. In this case, it’s throwing a big fundraiser with the who’s who of New York City.
The night is a success, and Evelyn finally takes up Malcolm’s offer to finally visit his apartment in Yonkers. As the party ends, they sneak away to the garage to get Evelyn’s car. But Evelyn’s always been good at finding things, and she discovers the dead body of a guest, Judge Baker, in a car—with a needle in his arm.
Detective Hodgson and his new partner, Detective McJimsey, arrive on the scene, but before they can begin to question Evelyn, they are startled by another mysterious discovery: there’s a woman in the trunk of the car, and she screams as soon as she sees Evelyn’s face. Tangled up in the police investigation, Evelyn’s got another problem, too—her father insists she break off her relationship with Mac. The next day, her father is found attacked just like the judge, only this time the detectives find a dead woman nearby.
With Mac accused of the attacks and in police custody, Evelyn will have to find the killer on her own before she’s checked out of the hotel—this time, for good.
