Murder at the Grand Hotel

di Isabella Bassett (Autore)

Isabella Bassett, 2023

The French Riviera, 1925 Disgraced society “it” girl, Lady Caroline, has been shipped off to the French Riviera to spend remedial time with gout-impaired Uncle Albert. Her crime? An ill-advised scavenger hunt through London, with social-status-ruinous consequences. Now, instead of pinching police helmets, this Bright Young Thing is pursuing her uncle’s latest hobby along the rocky cliffs of the Cote d’Azur. But all is not misery in Lady Caroline’s life. Murder brightens up what could otherwise be a terribly dull existence. First, a well-connected seductress is poisoned at the roulette table, then the Riviera’s preeminent villa architect slips off the bluffs into the turquoise Mediterranean Sea idling below. As the bodies mount, the local police suspect someone is boosting their way up the social ladder through nefarious means. Lady Caroline has a different idea. Always up for a good scavenger hunt, she can’t resist following the trail of clues to the killer. Murder at the Grand Hotel is Book 1 of the Lady Caroline Murder Mysteries series. In the glamorous world of 1920s Europe, money and privilege rub shoulders, and greed, envy, and murder are never far behind. Follow Lady Caroline, intelligent and witty, with a fondness for breaking rules, on a fun romp through the golden age of murder mysteries. Each book contains the requisite eccentric characters, fun historical tidbits, and puzzling murders with no gore or gloom.
