About this listen
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!

Simply divine!
Loved the way the time period came through, the description of clothes, the speech and sayings of a time gone by! Add to this the twists and turns of a mystery, and murder - what more can you want?

Most enjoyable!
Another well-crafted mystery, full of wonderful characters and most deceptive red herrings. The narration is wonderful too!

Death at the dance
It's so cringeworthy i love it. these books remind me of those midday movies that played on a Saturday afternoon when i was a child, we get the murder mystery but not the gory stomach churning murder scenes that are in fashion now and of course romance. There's also nothing like the idea that everyone has so much money that they never have to work but still have full time hired help. Bravo 🤣🤣🥰🥰

Daphne not Florence!
Loved the tale, however thought the oversight regarding the plane’s name, considering the effort spent to mention it several times, was a little frustrating.
