Produktbeschreibung

When Olive Wallace offers to take several friends and relatives on a once-in-a-lifetime bus tour through post-WWII Europe, they all jump at the chance-even though Olive can be petty, demanding, and judgmental. But do they really care about seeing the wonders of Europe-the magnificent Roman temples and the majesty of Carcassonne, an ancient, fortified city in southern France-or are they just trying to stay in Olive's good graces?

Olive Wallace, after all, is extremely wealthy. And she is extremely outspoken about who she intends to leave her money to-or not leave it to-when she dies. Olive changes her will on a whim, and every person on the trip knows it.

On a bridge near Avignon, Olive is accidentally bumped into the river-or was she pushed? Days later, she is suspiciously nudged down the steps at the Nimes Colosseum. When Olive suffers a third accident in the narrow cobblestone streets of Carcassonne, she becomes convinced that somebody-one of her closest friends, perhaps-is out to murder her!

Autorenporträt

Eunice was an award-winning mystery writer during the Golden Age of Agatha Christie. Her books are intelligent, cozy whodunnit murder mysteries with many twists and turns. She loved to read mysteries and prided herself in identifying the murderer well before the end. After graduating from UC Berkeley in 1924, she moved to Alaska where she lived for 12 years. Circa 1940, she returned to Berkeley where she wrote the Alaska-based F. Millard Smyth mystery series: MURDER BREAKS TRAIL (1943), DOOM IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN (1943), and MURDER WEARS MUKLUKS (1945). These will be republished in 2022. A fourth book in the series, ONE PAW WAS RED will be forthcoming (2022/2023). She co-authored THE MARBLE FOREST that was made into the movie "Macabre" (1958). Her new cozy murder mysteries are: DUNE HOUSE (11/23/2021), SLAY BELLS (12/7/21) and A VACATION TO KILL FOR (2022). These books are published with her goddaughter, Elizabeth Reed Aden. DUNE HOUSE and SLAY BELLS are set in San Francisco, California and A VACATION TO KILL FOR is set primarily in Carcassonne, France.
