A grand villa, croissants for breakfast and a dead body in the wine cellar... Lady Swift can't seem to take a vacation from murder! 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? A gripping historical murder mystery full of charm and intrigue, set in the beautiful French Riviera. Fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey and Lee Strauss will adore The French for Murder . Readers are utterly addicted to Verity Bright! ' What a great cozy mystery! I am hooked!

' Reviews by Carol in Tallahassee ' Can I give it six stars please? ... Pretty much perfect ... Bright has the amazing gift of bringing the reader into that world where the characters are alive .' Goodreads reviewer ' What a wild ride it is! ... Gripping ... This book is what would happen if Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie had a baby . Fun, fast-paced read with lots of charm! ' The Literary Wife ' I was literally on the edge of my seat until the last page trying to figure out the mystery. It's an adorable , captivating book.' Washington Life Magazine ' A sparkling heroine and perfect partner-in-crime ... Every bit as compelling a couple as Bertie Wooster and Jeeves and the series is both entertaining and eminently readable... The perfect light reading for a summer day. An added bonus is the delightful dog Gladstone who is indolent, gluttonous and totally adorable .' Goodreads reviewer
