Another winning instalment in the Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery series. Once again Verity Bright delivers a wonderfully enjoyable cosy mystery that as always gives us a great blend of mystery, humour and period detail.
This time Ellie is on her honeymoon with new husband Hugh, accompanied by faithful butler Clifford and the ever present Gladstone. Unfortunately the blissful dream of Paris is intruded upon with murders, secrets and twists galore and with a personal stake in the case, Ellie and co must fight to clear their names and bring justice to the victim.
This was a bittersweet instalment following the sad news about the passing of Laura Tong. I loved it as always and know we will be getting a couple more stories but I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to Ellie yet.
