Review of 'The French for Murder' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Deciding that she had had enough of dead bodies and solving mysteries, Lady Eleanor packs up her house and rents a villa in France. Unfortunately for her, while taking inventory of the wine, her intrepid butler Clifford finds a dead body. When the local constabulary decides that since Clifford found the body, he must have done the deed. Not wanting her butler to spend the rest of his life in a French jail, Lady Eleanor reluctantly takes on the mission to find out whodunit.

I didn't find this story as compelling as previous adventures and I'm thinking that the lack of Lady E swooning over her beau may have had something to do with it.

Not a bad book, just not one of the best in the series.
