Today I am delighted to be kicking off the blog tour for the latest instalment in The Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery series.

About the book

For Lady Eleanor Swift, Paris means champagne at breakfast, romantic walks by the Eiffel Tower… and her deadliest case yet!

Newlyweds Lady Swift and Detective Hugh Seldon are honeymooning in the most romantic city on earth. Clifford, her butler,has come along for the trip to make sure everything goes to plan for the happy couple. And Gladstone, the mischievous bulldog, to make sure it doesn’t!

But the pair are shocked when, just as they are toasting their new marriage at the best table in their hotel’s opulent restaurant, a man tumbles through the glass roof and lands amid the silverware and coq au vin. Before he dies, he presses a striking pearl brooch into Eleanor’s hands. She has the strangest feeling of déjà vu. Has she met this man before? All too quickly, the local police arrive and immediately accuse the new Mr and Mrs of working with the victim – a thief who’d just robbed the museum down the block.

With her new husband by her side, Eleanor races to clear their name and discover who would kill to get their hands on the unusual brooch. Following a clue about a doomed love affair takes the gang from the famous cabarets and cobbled streets of Paris to rubbing shoulders with the aristocracy at the very top of the Eiffel Tower.

But soon Eleanor notices a mysterious man in black following their every footstep. Is he friend or foe? And can Eleanor and Hugh unravel the case before the City of Light becomes the city of death?

An utterly charming and unputdownable golden age cosy mystery set in Paris. Fans of T.E. Kinsey, Catherine Coles and Lee Strauss will adore it.

Book twenty-two! I can’t believe it! But what a delight it is to be finally following Eleanor and her beau, Hugh on their honeymoon, and to the city of love no less. It’s been quite the journey up to this point. There has been murder, mayhem and many, many close shaves along the way. Each one of the beloved characters have faced their share of peril. As our love birds enjoy a romantic holiday, finally as man and wife, we get the sense that Eleanor may have found her happy ending. For a murder mystery, that would be no fun at all though and it isn’t long before another dead body lands literally in Lady Swift’s lap. But this one unnerves her even more than any of the previous encounters. This time she feels a connection with the victim and a strange sense of déjà vu. As always there are many obstacles to overcome as she, Clifford and now, Hugh try to unmask the killer, the biggest obstacle being that Lady Swift herself is a prime suspect. The deeper she digs the bigger the hole, and Eleanor discovers she is more involved in the dead man’s past that she anticipated. Past memories begin to surface and we, and Eleanor, learn a little more about her past and the link with her parents.

Really enjoyed this instalment in the series, it’s always a joy to be in Eleanor’s company and it was extra special visiting 1920s Paris. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
