At the Villa Rose
About this book
A young apprentice is framed for the murder of her mentor, a wealthy woman who had a serious penchant for spiritualism, theatrics and staged seances. When the woman is suddenly killed all signs point to her longstanding partner. Madame Dauvray was captivated by the supernatural world. She and her companion, Celia Harland, would often engage the public as spiritual mediums. Yet, their presentations were a farce fueled by trickery and performance. One day, Madame Dauvray is found strangled to death at the illustrious Villa Rose. Her maid is indisposed, and her jewels are stolen. Due to proximity and the nature of their business, Celia is made the prime suspect. In an effort to clear her name, the young Englishman, Harry Wethermill asks Inspector Hanaud to crack the case. At the Villa Rose is a thrilling detective story full of misdirects and shocking twists. The beloved character, Inspector Hanaud, makes a memorable debut in the first of six novels. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of At the Villa Rose is both modern and readable.
