Masters in this Hall takes place some years after the conclusion of Gilded Cage. Set at Christmas this novella is a house party, murder mystery, opposites attract, lovers to enemies to lovers, second chance, class differences romance between John, a disgraced former hotel detective, and Barnaby, a set designer and party host, who John believes responsible for the destruction of his career. Needless to say it’s a bit more complicated than that and they work it out in the end. A Lillywhite makes a few exceptional appearances.

A perfect little mystery steeped in Christmas-time stuff. Amazing surprise cameo from a Lilywhite boy. Also laugh-out-loud hilarious, of course.

This is a perfect bonus to the Lily-white Boys, with a tight little mystery, big old-time Christmas vibes, just the right amount of betrayal, and a mysterious Lily-white cameo that keeps you guessing until the final pages. I thoroughly enjoyed the romance at the heart of this, too. This series is all hits, no misses.
