Le Jazz Hot

Since becoming Lady Stella Barrington, amateur sleuth and silent movie actress Stella Hart hasn't thought much about the movies. She and her scrumptious new husband, George Barrington, 13th Baronet of Kingsley-on-Pike, have been on their honeymoon in Paris for three months and counting, and Stella has no plans to ever go home. As she dodges telegrams from Hollywood and revels in love and la vie bohème, the last thing on her mind is murder.

But murder has a nasty habit of tracking her down whether she's thinking about it or not. When her childhood bully, wealthy socialite Regina Wilson, is found dead and dismembered in the seedy apartment of avant-garde painter Victor Bissett, Stella finds herself neck deep in the most brutal and dangerous investigation of her career so far. Her trail of suspects leads from nudist parties in Paris to the running of the bulls in Pamplona, and the clues test her courage and powers of deduction like nothing ever has before. This time, if she gets it wrong, she could lose everything she holds dear, including the person she loves most.

Le Jazz Hot is Book 5 of the Stella Hart Mysteries series by acclaimed romance, mystery, and horror novelist Lucy Blue.
