The Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery series by Verity Bright spans 25 books published between 2020 and 2026. Set in the 1920s, the series follows Lady Eleanor Swift, an unconventional aristocrat who cannot seem to avoid dead bodies. Her butler Clifford accompanies her through each investigation, providing dry wit and practical assistance.
The early books stay close to England, with A Very English Murder, Death at the Dance, and Murder in the Snow establishing the formula. As the series progresses, Eleanor travels further afield. Murder in Manhattan, A Death in Venice, and Murder on the Nile send her to international locations, while titles like Murder in an Irish Castle and The French for Murder explore European settings. The blend of cozy mystery conventions with 1920s period detail and globe-trotting adventure has made the series a consistent performer with readers.
