Summary
A masked ball, a dead body, a missing diamond necklace and a suspicious silver candlestick? Sounds like a case for Lady Eleanor Swift!
England, 1920. Lady Eleanor Swift, 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 Lance Langham is the host, so she needs to dazzle.
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.
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.
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....
Fans of Agatha Christie, T E Kinsey and Downton Abbey will adore this tremendously fun cozy whodunnit, full of mystery, murder and intrigue!

drama with a touch of humour
This book kept me guessing who did it until the end. Great to follow Lady Swift settling into her new home & solving the crime with the help of her awesome butler. Straight onto the next book.

Enjoyable easy listen
These are lovely books, great characters and narration. After listening to some dark thrillers these are a nice palate cleanser.

Death at the Dance
This Mystery is full of twists and turns as Lady Eleanor Swift rushed around to find the clues to find the killer. Fun high jinks with new friends and falling out with old ones. Read with great feeling from Karen Cass.

Another fantastic story from Verity Bright
I really enjoyed this book, the relationship between Elena and Clifford is great with the wonderful narrator Karen Cass bringing them to life with her fun performance. It sounds like she is having fun reading the book.

Good story, odd narration.
Story is very good and a nice light hearted escapist who-done-it.
Narrator ends every sentence in a flat, dead tone. Don't know why the dialogue is ok but the rest sounds like the narrator is on the verge of depression every sentence.

Good story
I think this would have been a more enjoyable listen if the narrator didn’t seem so bored during the non dialogue. She seemed to just be trying to get through it, like a first script reading where the stage direction is something everyone else is reading and doesn’t mean much.
