In the bright sunshine and glorious landscapes of the Cote D’Azur, the enclave of British high society worry about the impending war. So much so that when the body of a Hungarian noble is found at Lady Tonbridge’s soiree, a haphazard investigation finds no culprit. Miss Dory Sparks, the companion to Lady Pettifer, finds herself drawn into investigating when no one else seems pay this murder its due attention.
The handsome Baron Domenik Drecsay had never been a saint and his interest in the heiresses along the coast was known by all. Miss Livinia Fellingworth had certainly been falling for his charms. Even so, Dory struggles to find a motive for his murder, and she is running out of time as the worsening situation in France threatens the decorum lives of the foreign societies along the sparkling coast.

5.0 out of 5 stars The war marches on as does murderous intent.
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019
Fabulous. A great read. Our little maid is now a companion to the Family's Aunt and living with her and the young girl in France. Life is carrying on as usual - parties, tennis and high living. Her life however doesn't quite fit into either category. Neither servant nor the in crowd. However when she accompanies the daughter to a masked ball it ends when a body is discovered. A Hungarian Baron. No-one seems to know or care about his death. Written off as a lothario who was living off his conquests. She and the Aunt decide to investigate. What will they find? Plus the war is moving ever closer and Vivian after a short visit decides to see if he can save his mother. Evacuation ships are on their way. Can they get the information about why the Baron was killed before they have to flee? What will happen on the journey back and once they reach home what will they do?
A great plot that really had me guessing. Although I must admit there were a few times I wished that someone had given the daughter a good talking too.

I have found a new favorite historical cozy mystery author in C.G. Oster. Her second Dory Sparks mystery, Mischief in St. Tropez, was as delightful as her first. I love the characters, especially Dory who cannot allow a murder to go unsolved because the victim needs justice. Very interesting learning about the British stuck in St. Tropez. They were so certain the French and British could hold off the Germans that they failed to leave France before things went from bad to worse. But while all is in a turmoil, Dory is attempting to solve a murder when no one else seems to care except for Lady Pettifer, her employer. Dory did a good job of puzzling the pieces together, but as they escape from St. Tropez, it almost seems the mystery will go unsolved. Good, fun read.

Another entertaining story ... but ... "gentile poverty" rather than "genteel poverty" ... and that's not the only example of homonym problems.

The story is ok but obviously any meaningful editing was omitted. Gentile poverty instead of genteel, para shooting instead of parachuting and births instead of births to name just three. Really inexcusable.
