Something in the Blood (A Honey Driver Murder Mystery)
“He took pride in running a superbly furnished and well-run hotel. He adored cashmere sweaters, tailor made jackets and trousers, and felt nothing could compete with a pure cotton shirt made by a skilled Indian gentleman in Saville Row, London.
His exquisite taste extended to his surroundings. His hotel had graced in-flight brochures and Hidden Hotels of the World magazine, and was frequented by the rich and famous, confident they would receive excellent service and absolute discretion.
...He didn’t live there himself. He lived in a beautiful house, one of the impressive twenty-four that made up The Circus, that ring of mathematically produced elegance from the fevered brain of John Wood.

The paintwork was finished in traditional colours; the furniture was even more elegant than in his hotel.MoreLess
