A carregar... The French for Murderpor Verity Bright
Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.  kimkimkim | Jun 1, 2022 |   An American film star is found murdered in the rental villa by Clifford, Verity's friend, mentor, and The Butler Who Knows Everything only a very few hours after their arrival. The gendarmes haul him off to their jail and the madness REALLY begins! Add in a good spoof of American actors of the time, Verity's attempts to drive a rental car on her wrong side of the road, great descriptions of the scenery and attire, and all the fun that comes with each and every book in this series I love. A wonderful addition to the series, but I think that this one stands alone very easily. I requested and received a temporary digital ARC of this book from Bookouture via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

Pertence a Série
Summer 1923. Lady Eleanor Swift is finally persuaded by her butler, Clifford, to take a villa in the south of France for the season. She plans to do what a glamorous lady abroad should: long lunches on the balcony followed by lazy afternoons lounging by the pool. Even Gladstone the bulldog is looking forward to a daily paddle in the ocean. But when Clifford examines the wine cellar, he discovers there are no decent reds but there is a very dead body. The victim is famous American movie star Rex Armstrong. Poor Rex seems to have been stabbed with a sword from the film set. So how did he end up in Eleanor's villa? Before Eleanor even has time to change out of her travelling suit, her beloved butler is arrested for the crime. At sea without her right-hand man, Eleanor must gather her wits if she's to outsmart a murderer and save Clifford. Attending a glitzy party at the luxurious Hotel Azure with the film's cast and crew so she can question her main suspects, Eleanor overhears the director having a most unsettling telephone call that throws all her theories out of the water. Can Eleanor unmask the true killer before her time abroad is cut murderously short? Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Lady Eleanor is going to lounge around the pool at a fabulous villa on the Cote d’Azur overlooking the mediterranean, dine at elegant restaurants and try to forget the recent danger and murder. Oh but fate has other plans and before the suitcases are unpacked a dead body is discovered in the wine cellar and Clifford is the prime suspect. If Lady Eleanor is going to clear Clifford of suspicion it it will require a very touchy detente with the local authorities, first class sleuthing, partying with a wild group of Americans and all sorts of subterfuge and artifice. Is Lady Eleanor up to the challenge? Will she save Clifford from the Guillotine? This was another fun excursion in the travels and travails of Lady Swift and her entourage. I look forward to each new addition to this series and devour it chuckling and smirking from start to finish.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookoutre for a copy and congratulations to Verity Bright for another terrific addition to this series. (
