MURDER ON THE SEINE: A 1920's Historical Cozy Mystery
By OLIVIA ROSE
Soirées, secrets, and a Seine-side slaying.
Lady Elizabeth’s last-minute invitation to Paris promises nothing more than embassy receptions and catching up with her childhood best friend, Clemmi Sterling, née Mayfield. But Jonathan Ashcroft’s unexpected presence — and his decidedly furtive behaviour — sets her instincts on high alert.
Following him through the Parisian streets in the dead of night, Elizabeth witnesses a clandestine meeting on Pont Neuf which ends in gunshots and Jonathan plunging into the murky waters of the Seine.
When the official story doesn’t add up and Clemmi’s husband, Oliver, stonewalls her at every turn, Elizabeth begins to suspect the Seine-side slaying isn’t quite what it seems.
Caught between loyalty to her oldest friend and a web of lies that reaches into the highest echelons of British intelligence, Elizabeth must unmask the killer before they strike again.
But in the shadowy world of Parisian politics, will she checkmate a master manipulator – or fall victim to their coup de grâce?
