A Burglary In Belgravia by Lynda Wilcox

Lady Eleanor Bakewell is out for a fun night at the theater but she is the only one who hears a loud noise. When she goes to see what is going on, she discovers a dead body, Sir David Bristol. Sir David is a socialist who ran one of the leading papers in London. He is also the benefactor of the play and a man known for his many, many, many relationships. His current relationship is with the star of the play that Lady Eleanor came to see with her friend. 
There is some character growth in this book though not a lot. The mystery was a little convoluted with Eleanor being hired by a lady to find her pearl necklace and the murder being mixed in with some jewel robberies.

A Poisoning in Piccadilly by Lynda Wilcox

The Great War is over and Lady Eleanor Bakewell is one of the Bright Young Things, living life to the fullest after being so close to death. But death can find you anywhere, even in a sparkling club as Eleanor discovers when Henry Eisenbach dies in her arms. Though the American millionaire was older, there is something suspicious about the way he went down. And Eleanor saw enough death during the war to know that something is terribly wrong. 
I've been suggested a large number of 1920s female sleuth mysteries by Kindle Unlimited. Two of them even have heroines with the same name. After this book, I'm definitely going to keep reading this series. Eleanor seems fairly competent and not ONLY a busybody which I do enjoy.
