<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A masked ball, a dead body, a missing diamond necklace and a suspicious silver candlestick? Sounds like a case for Lady Eleanor Swift!</strong></p><p><strong>England, 1920</strong>. <strong>Lady Eleanor Swift</strong>, adventurer extraordinaire and reluctant amateur detective, is taking a break from sleuthing. She's got much bigger problems: Eleanor has two left feet, nothing to wear and she's expected at the masked ball at the local manor. Her new beau <strong>Lance Langham</strong> is the host, so she needs to dazzle.</p><p>Surrounded by partygoers with painted faces, pirates, priests and enough feathers to drown an ostrich, Eleanor searches for a familiar face. As she follows a familiar pair of long legs up a grand staircase, she's sure she's on Lance's trail. But she opens the door on a dreadful scene: Lance standing over a dead Colonel Puddifoot, brandishing a silver candlestick, the family safe wide open and empty.</p><p>Moments later, the police burst in and arrest Lance for murder, diamond theft and a spate of similar burglaries. But Eleanor is convinced her love didn't do it, and with him locked up in prison, she knows she needs to clear his name.</p><p>Something Lance lets slip about his pals convinces Eleanor the answer lies close to home. Accompanied by her faithful sidekick Gladstone the bulldog, she begins with Lance's friends - a set of fast driving, even faster drinking, high-society types with a taste for mischief. But after they start getting picked off in circumstances that look a lot like murder, Eleanor is in a race against time to clear Lance's name and avoid another brush with death...</p><p><strong>Fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey and <em>Downton Abbey</em> will adore this tremendously fun cozy whodunnit, full of mystery, murder and intrigue! </strong></p><p><strong>Readers love Verity Bright! </strong></p><p>'<strong>What a great cozy mystery! </strong>I am <strong>hooked!
