Summary

A holiday on the French Riviera turns deadly when Lord Unsworth’s old flame is found murdered in this second installment of the “entertaining” Mr. Quayle Mysteries. (Kirkus Reviews)

“One murder was quite enough for this family!” Lady Constance declared. “Two starts to look like carelessness! And what happens when it’s three? Or four?”

France, 1926. In the wake of murder and tragedy, Lord Unsworth and his family flee to the French Riviera in a desperate attempt to escape the ensuing scandal and find a few months of peace and solitude. But their hopes are soon dashed when Fanny joins a community of writers, artists, and anarchists, and Arthur unwittingly becomes entangled in a plot to catch an elusive international jewel thief.

And when Lord Unsworth’s old flame, Lady Rosaline Barrett De Marchi, is found dead in suspicious circumstances, the efficient Mr. Quayle finds himself once again called upon to save the family from ruin....

A Rather Dastardly Death is the second novel in the Mr. Quayle Mystery series.
