An atmospheric, entertaining new mystery series introducing a plucky heroine and set in the worldâs most famous hotel.
Itâs 1968. London is in full swing and the Savoy Hotel is at the height of its legendary glitz and glamor, 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 werenât for the dead body in Room 705.
Could it be murder at the Savoy? Impossible! Who could have done such a thing?
Suspicion falls upon Priscilla Tempest, the quick-witted head of the Savoy press office who has a penchant for champagne, the wrong sort of menâand trouble.
When it is discovered that Priscilla had been with the deceasedâa notorious international arms dealerâthe night before he was found dead, she is questioned by Scotland Yard Inspector Robert âChargerâ Lightfoot and is suddenly under the unforgiving eye of her boss, the Savoyâs straitlaced general manager, Clive Banville. Her job on the line, her life in danger, Priscilla must elude the police and the general managerâs duplicitous wife, ward off the amorous advances of a famous drunken actor, and discover whether that really was a member of the royal family seen leaving the victimâs suite shortly before his body was discovered.
Death at the Savoy is an intoxicating blend of mystery, suspense and humor. And itâs just the beginning!
