Synopsis

Allison Campbell accepted a dream assignment: a visit to the Italian Dolomites to help Hollywood socialite Elle Rose reinvent herself. A guest cottage on the grounds of Elle's historic castle promises to be a much-needed respite from Allison's harried life on the Philadelphia Main Line, and the picturesque region, with its sharp peaks, rolling pastures, and medieval churches, is the perfect spot from which to plan her upcoming wedding.

Only this idyllic retreat is anything but peaceful. There are the other visitors—an entourage of back-biting expats and Hollywood VIPs. There's Elle's famous rock star father, now a shadowy recluse hovering behind the castle's closed doors. And then there's Elle's erratic behavior. Nothing is as it seems. After a guest plummets to her death from a cliff on the castle grounds, Allison's trip of a lifetime turns nightmarish—but before she can journey home, Allison must catch a killer.

Despite Allison’s on-going issues of planning her wedding, marrying her ex-husband in the near future and the caring for her sister’s chi......more

Ms. Tyson incorporates two of my favorite classic mystery styles into this cozy. The first is that of the secluded country house, setting Fatal Facade at a large (and isolated) castle in the beautiful Italian countryside. The second is the mystery itself – a “locked room” variety – in other words, t......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on June 05, 2017

An intriguing visit to a castle in Italy. No shortage of strange people with secrets. Entertaining, clever, and a page turner. The publisher provided a copy via NetGalley for my voluntary review. I look forward to reading the next one in this series.......more

Goodreads review by Rowena on April 13, 2017

As a long-time fan of Wendy Tyson and Allison Campbell, I lept at the chance to read the fourth installment of the series before it releases. I was not disappointed in the least. As cliched as it sounds, I absolutely could not put it down. Allison only becomes more complex and therefore more relatab......more
