Ms. Weaver has written a tremendously good first novel! Though she is from Louisiana she has nailed the Brits very well. It was a good mix between murder, intrigue and romance. The heroine is Amory Ames, a young socialite. She has been married to Milo Ames, a charming playboy, for five years and things aren't working out so well. She stays at home while he goes to the continent and has a good time. Then her life gets turned upside down by the request from her former fiancé, Gil Trent, asks her to go to the Brightwell Hotel on the coast to try to avert his sister from marrying a charming playboy. Milo comes home early from Monte Carlo and finds her going to the Brightwell. He shows up later and all kinds of things happen: 2 murders, a suicide attempt, and Amory herself is drugged in her own room. How this all plays out is very fun to observe. This book is the first of the series and I highly recommend it. I've already started reading the 2nd book!
