So how did he end up in EleanorâÇÖs villa?áBefore 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 sheâÇÖs to outsmart a murderer and save Clifford.áAttending a glitzy party at the luxurious Hotel Azure with the filmâÇÖs 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?áA gripping historical murder mystery full of charm and intrigue, set in the beautiful French Riviera.
