A wedding

A murder

And a novice detective intent on solving her first case!

Fresh from teaching at her prestigious Swiss boarding school, Miss Atalanta Ashford suddenly finds herself the most eligible young lady in society when she inherits her grandfather’s substantial fortune. But with this fortune, and an elegant new Parisian home, comes a legacy passed down from grandfather to granddaughter…sleuthing discreetly for Europe’s elite.

This young lady isn’t one to back down from a challenge and Miss Ashford must depend on her sharp wit and charm to solve her first case, which takes her to the lush lavender fields of Provence and a wedding at the mansion of the Comte de Surmonne.

Now, as murder strikes twice, Atalanta will have to race to solve the case but will she be able to stop the blushing bride from facing a fatal ‘I do’?

The story doesn't make sense, the characters don't make sense and neither do the dialogues. In parts the book is horribly long-winded, especially the endless internal monologue of the main character gets super annoying. Other parts are suddenly rushed without any story development at all. Why does everybody behave so stupidly?
I couldn't be bothered to care about any of the characters. And there was no feel whatsoever of the time (1930) and place (France) the story was set in. This could have been anywhere at any time between 1920 and 1980.
I won't try another book by this author. This was a waste of time and money.

So disappointing!
