Murder in Belgravia by Lynn Brittney. This book is not worth the trouble.

It is taking place in 1915 London. The main characters have 21st-century attitudes. I was willing to go along with this And suspend my disbelief, until.

There wasn’t room in a taxi (I guess horse drawn?) For a man. Another man and woman, both very upper class were already in the taxi. So, the man already in the taxi suggested that the woman already in the taxi sit on his lap! And she did, without a whimper. That was so over the top for 1915 upper class people that I said the hell with this and I’m returning the book to the library. I am shocked, shocked that the publisher let this thing get published with that kind of nonsense in it.

1. LOL. I surprised myself last year, when I read a book, almost to the end,

about the friendship of two teenaged boys. When one of the boys dies, his mother, who said she loved her son, put the urn with his ashes in the trunk of her car & heard it rolling around as she drove home from his memorial. I only had about 35 pages left to read but I closed the book right there.
