A very warm welcome back to Verity Bright here to tell us more about Murder at The Royal Palace
Lady Eleanor Swift has a special royal invitation. She’s got just the right dress and the perfect plus one… But wait! Is that a body by the throne?
Lady Eleanor Swift is at Buckingham Palace to see her new husband, Detective Chief Inspector Seldon, knighted. Brimming with pride, all she can hope is that Gladstone the bulldog behaves himself in front of the king.
But the happy day is overshadowed when Dilly Dalrymple, a royal guard, collapses. The head of the royal police asks Eleanor and Hugh to investigate the murder – unofficially. This is her first clue that there’s more to the story…
Donning a disguise as a journalist for a well-to-do magazine, Eleanor, with butler Clifford posing as her photographer interview the high-profile guests and residents at the palace. She wasn’t expecting gossiping wives, affairs aplenty and talk of long-lost treasure! Was Dilly killed to settle an old score or was he perhaps a little too close to someone else’s wife?
But when another soldier is murdered at midnight, hours after the palace gates are locked, Eleanor knows she needs to keep her wits about her… And when everyone seems to have a reason to lie, can Eleanor dig up the truth before it’s her head next?

September already!
Bonjour mes amis, this month is already flying by so quickly. The summer weather seemed to vanish overnight leaving behind wind, rain and Murder at The Dolphin Hotel in French and Polish! I am so excited to have more translations to take Kitty and Matt to new audiences. I hope readers enjoy them. In other news, Murder in Paris is still flying high and in November I have 2 new releases. I know! Crazy. Murder at Midwinter Farm and Murder most British will both be out in time for Christmas. Writing wise I am cracking on with the next two books. Murder at Sea (working title) which will be the next Miss Underhay ad The Afternoon Tea murders (working title) which is the fourth secret detective agency book. I have appearances coming up in the next few months at Brixham - this includes a workshop with a lovely writer friend, A talk at Ivybridge, a panel at Crime at the Coast and of course in February I'm at Plymouth lit fest!!!
