Miss Fisher meets Downton Abbey in Tell Me No Lies, part of the critically acclaimed Lady Dunbridge Mystery series from New York Times bestselling author Shelley Noble.

Rise and shine, Countess, you’re about to have a visitor.

Lady Dunbridge was not about to let a little thing like the death of her husband ruin her social life. She’s come to New York City, ready to take the dazzling world of Gilded Age Manhattan by storm. The social events of the summer have been amusing but Lady Phil is searching for more excitement---and she finds it, when an early morning visitor arrives, begging for her help. After all, Lady Phil has been known to be useful in a crisis. Especially when the crisis involves the untimely death of a handsome young business tycoon.

His death could send another financial panic through Wall Street and beyond.

With the elegant Plaza Hotel, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the opulent mansions of Long Island’s Gold Coast as the backdrop, romance, murder, and scandals abound. Someone simply must do something. And Lady Dunbridge is happy to oblige.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Review

“If you’ve missed Miss Fisher, Lady Phil will fill the bill. She’s at it again, taking Manhattan by storm and managing to meet the most interesting people as she investigates another murder. Don’t miss the non-stop adventure.” ―Victoria Thompson, USA Today Bestselling author of Murder On Trinity Place

“Sparkling with charm and wit, Noble pens another delightful tale of intrigue and scandal set in turn-of-the-century New York. The fun and feisty Lady Phil and her dynamic duo of servants prove to be intrepid sleuths, and the tease of more romance to come keeps one guessing.” ―Anna Lee Huber, bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries

“Noble’s Ask Me No Questions launches what should prove to be a well-received, long-lived, beloved and frisky romantic mystery series.” ―Mystery Scene Magazine

“Told with wit and humor...a spirited and spunky addition to the ranks of aristocratic women sleuths of the early 20th century.” ―New York Times bestselling author Rhys Bowen

“This first book in a new series is deftly plotted, well-researched, sharp with wit, and teases at the possibility of future romance. Highly intriguing and entertaining.” ―Anna Lee Huber, bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries

“Entertaining historical mystery with an enterprising protagonist.” ―Booklist

“Sparkles from start to finish!" ―Tessa Arlen, author of the Lady Montfort mystery series

“Classy, clever, and fun, this is a propitious start for dashing Lady Phil.” ―Publishers Weekly

This story had me hooked from beginning to end! Very well written with interesting characters and an intriguing plot. Phil and Miss Fisher would have been the best of friends.
I haven't read the first story yet, but with all the subtle references to it included in this one, I'm now eager to read it. I'll be purchasing both of these books in paper copies to add to my collection.

Lady Dunbridge is a charming character to follow, but the real star of Shelley Noble’s mystery is the time and place: Gilded Age in NYC. And, of course, having a bit of money and status to enjoy life does not hurt. Ms Noble combines a deep understanding of the City at the dawn of the 20th century with a fearless heroine whose preference is to head into trouble every time the chance presents itself. Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Historical Cozy Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2021
Lady Philomena Dunbridge is comfortably ensconced in her new accommodations at the elegant Plaza Hotel and enjoying the New York City season. Well, Phil is a bit bored, but that all changes when she is called upon by the Pratts to support them in the way she supported her newly widowed friend, Bev Reynolds (book 1). It seems that they have a dead body on their hands - Perry Fauks, heir to Fauks Copper, Coal & Steel. Perry was stabbed and stuffed down the laundry shoot and now they not only have to solve a murder, but prevent a financial crisis.

Lady Philomena Dunbridge is such a fun character to read about. She reminds me so much of Miss Phyrne Fisher from Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Phil did her duty to her family by marrying the Earl of Dunbridge and suffered for several long years. His death and Phil's subsequent escape to America is probably the best thing that happened to her. Granted, Phil is penniless and has to rely on her title to gain her entre to New York Society, but she has picked up a mysterious patron, Mr. X, along the way. Phil doesn't know who he is or what he really looks like, but he pays all her bills in exchange for her help in investigating mysteries - whether the local police force wants her help or not. Phil is quick-witted, independent, fearless and not afraid to stand out by tackling life on her own terms. She is ably supported by her maid, Lily, and her butler, Preswick. I was hoping we would pick up some more clues about Lily's past in this book as we literally know nothing about her, other than her penchant for wearing stilettos under her skirts, but, alas, her story cannot be found here. Preswick is an indomitable British butler who seems able to tackle every situation with aplomb and is the perfect foil for Phil and Lily's antics. There is also a whole host of new characters and I found the Pratt family and their friends absolutely fascinating.

Shelley Noble's characterization is one of her strengths. The mystery in this book is fairly strung out and slow paced, but I was so fascinated reading about Phil's adventures that I didn't particularly care. And the setting is so fun to read about! I love glimpses into the historical past and I could tell that Noble spent time carefully researching this era, the fashions, the manners, the physical locations and more to fully immerse us in Phil's world. I loved reading about the details and the daily routines for people who lived in the early 1900s during the Gilded Age. The stock market is one of the major subplots of this mystery and the author also touches on the Wright brothers and their airplanes, weather balloons, the socialist movement, and more stories for the time period. It is so fun to see history through Phil's eyes and I loved the little glimpses into the past.

Tell Me No Lies is the 2nd book in the Lady Dunbridge Mystery series. This is definitely a cozy mystery so the mystery often takes a backseat to the characters and the setting. I love reading cozy mysteries and this one is well-written, full of engaging characters and set in a fascinating time period. If you are also a fan of cozies, you will definitely want to check this series out! You don't have to read the 1st book in the series to understand what is going on here as there are plenty of intros and a whole host of new supporting characters to meet, but the 1st book is just as delightful so I am sure you won't want to miss it!

Love the storyline and the characters!! It's a fascinating combination of mystery, subtle flirtations, and absolutely gorgeous details of the period clothes and house décor. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
