Description
A murder on the sun-drenched French Riviera sets the stage for a gripping historical fiction cozy mystery. In late spring 1936, Kitty Underhay arrives in Nice, tasked with tracking down a missing man, but instead finds a body. As she and her husband Matt unravel the mystery, they uncover a complex web of suspects and motives. A grand old hotel, fresh coffee on the balcony, and a perfect view of the sparkling ocean - these are the settings where Kitty and Matt hope to find a peaceful retreat. However, their evening stroll takes a deadly turn, and they soon realize that the body is that of Fred Bennett, the man they were hoping to find. As they investigate further, they discover a casino matchbook in Fred's pocket, leading them to the glamorous waterfront establishment where a wealthy widow, a disreputable aristocrat, and a cash-strapped reporter are all suspects. With more questions than answers, Kitty and Matt must navigate the intricate landscape of the French Riviera to uncover the truth. Will they be able to solve the case before it's too late, or will they realize that nothing is as it seems in this beautiful but deadly setting?
