As two young people from different worlds are joined together in marriage, the murmuring among the guests is that the relationship is doomed. But only one knows the form that doom will take.
Etta and Dora, retired teachers from the South of Italy, arrive with their Basset Hound, the strong willed, loveable Leon, for a home swap holiday in a German mansion, just in time for the celebrations following the wedding of their hosts' son to a beautiful Parisienne socialite. But the festivities come to an abrupt end when the bride falls face first into the wedding cake, a bullet in her heart.
Although the culprit looks obvious - the groom's business partner stands in shock, a gun in her hand - indisputable forensic evidence clears her name. Calling on her burgeoning talent as a sleuth, Etta launches her own investigations in parallel with those of the police. But with matters of the heart seeming to play a prominent role, it's the more sentimental Dora who comes to the fore to fill in the gaps. Still, there's something elusive, some crucial little detail...
Then the truth strikes. And it is so diabolical that even the pragmatic Etta is left reeling.
◆◆◆ Pack your bags, mystery fans. It's time to join Etta, Dora and Leon on the road - there's a crime to solve before they can enjoy their latest cosy homeswap. ◆◆◆
