A Priscilla Tempest Mystery, Book 1
An atmospheric, entertaining new mystery series introducing a plucky Canadian heroine and set in the world's most famous hotel.
It's 1968. London is in full swing and the Savoy Hotel is at the height of its legendary glitz and glamour, welcoming the rich, famous and aristocratic into its rarified world of perfection. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are squabbling in the American Bar while Noël Coward drinks champagne. Royals wait upstairs in luxurious suites for discreet encounters. In short, all is as it should be at the Savoy.
If only it weren't for the dead body in River Suite 610.
Could it be murder at the Savoy? Impossible! Who could have done such a thing?
