Publisher's Synopsis
A glamorous train journey. A vanished socialite. A deadly game of secrets and lies.
When investigative journalist Vivian Mercer boards the opulent Starlight Express bound for the French Riviera, she expects elegance, not intrigue. But when Violet Dane-a dazzling heiress with too many enemies-vanishes overnight, the luxury journey turns into a locked-room mystery aboard Europe's most exclusive train.
As Inspector Hargrave begins his investigation, Vivian quickly realizes that every passenger carries a secret... and some are willing to kill to protect theirs. Hidden affairs, desperate debts, and blackmail swirl beneath polite conversations and champagne toasts. And when Violet's bloodstained scarf is discovered, it becomes clear: someone aboard the Starlight Express committed murder.
But who?
With the snow-capped Alps trapping them in isolation, time is running out to expose the killer before they reach the Riviera-and before another victim falls.
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Ruth Ware, and Lucy Foley, The Vanishing of Violet Dane delivers a gripping, atmospheric mystery full of glamorous settings, sharp twists, and unforgettable characters.
Prepare to be swept aboard... but trust no one.
