Two Dead Men
In London’s fashionable Chelsea, a Halloween bash goes terribly wrong. Emmeline Wardle, daughter of a frozen foods baron, throws a party which results in the demise of two university schoolmates. Handsome golden boy Trevor Parsons is dead. So is pasty computer nerd Clive French. Both died on the Wardle estate within minutes of one another, and both died the same way — an axe to the … — an axe to the skull. Given the social connections of all involved, New Scotland Yard sends a real baron to investigate: Chief Superintendent Anthony Hetheridge, also known as Lord Hetheridge, ninth baron of Wellegrave.
Two Prime Suspects
This time around, Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield and her partner, Detective Sergeant Deepal “Paul” Bhar, have their work cut out. Bhar must contend with Emmeline Wardle, a spoiled blonde with a penchant for the finer things, including a certain illegal white powder. Kate must decide if Kyla Sloane, model-pretty and delicate, is being truthful about the events of that fateful night. And if Kyla’s connection to a former lover of Bhar’s means nothing — or everything.

Good character development. Engaging plots.
I enjoyed the book but had a little trouble trying to figure out what some of the slang meant. I have no idea what a Twanger is\
It’s easy to hate some of those “party hardy” kids but did one of them actually put an axe in the heads of two friends?
Lots of fun!
I have read all of Emma’s Blue Murder books. I loved them all.
i’ve read most of this series and have thoroughly enjoyed. Read this out of sequence, but its good but I enjoyed the others more.
Disgusting characters – they seemed so selfish. Good story line.
This Lord and Lady Hetheridge mystery opens with a great hook – two college students get axes in the head at a Halloween party. There are plenty of colorful, dislikeable characters and intriguing motives from which to choose. Did jealousy, money, insanity motivate the murders, or did the neighborhood serial killer drop in to say hello?
Great characters and great story line – makes me want to read more about Kate
I really enjoyed this book, and bought another in the series. Will read more.

That everyone of the characters has baggage.
Boring
