Diana Mitford gifter sig med den rike arvtagaren Bryan Guinness 1928 och de åker på bröllopsresa till Paris och Venedig. Med på resan är Dianas kammarjungfru Louisa som är huvudperson i berättelsen. Det inträffar flera märkliga dödsfall som först bedöms vara naturliga, men Louisa misstänker att det kan vara mord och tar kontakt med sin polisvän Guy.

Det är en lättläst historisk deckare som delvis är baserad på verkliga personer. Karaktärerna är ganska ytligt beskrivna och intrigen är lite osannolik. Men gillar man pusseldeckare i historisk miljö passar den här boken bra. Det är den tredje delen i serien om systrarna Mitford.
