A Fatal Forking

Murder is never good manners

Fatal Forking is a deliciously sharp murder mystery set in a world where appearances matter, manners are everything, and one misplaced fork can prove fatal. Rising etiquette expert Maximus Glyde has barely begun making his name when he is summoned to advise the future bride of European royalty — an assignment as glamorous as it is precarious.

But when the Grand Duchess is discovered murdered in her luxury hotel suite, with the weapon traced back to Maximus himself, polite society turns viciously against him. To save his reputation — and perhaps his life — he must navigate a labyrinth of aristocratic secrets, social ambition, and simmering rivalries.

Witty, stylish, and irresistibly tense, William Hanson’s Fatal Forking serves up high society scandal with a deadly twist.
