Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Lady Georgiana Rannoch's mother, a glamorous and much-married actress, is crossing the pond for a quickie divorce in Reno. Since all expenses are paid by hubby-to-be, Max, Georgiana goes along. Once on board, Mother all but forgets about Max and matrimony when movie mogul Cy Goldman casts her in his next picture. And as if there wasn't enough drama, no sooner do they arrive than Cy turns up dead in his Hollywood home.
My mother, the glamorous and much-married actress, is hearing wedding bells once again -- which is why she must hop across the pond for a quickie divorce in Reno. To offer my moral support, and since all expenses are paid by her new hubby-to-be, Max, I agree to make the voyage with her. Crossing the Atlantic, with adventure in the air and wealthy men aboard, Mother all but forgets about Max and matrimony -- especially when movie mogul Cy Goldman insists on casting her in his next picture. Meanwhile, I find myself caught up in the secret investigation of a suspected jewel thief. Lucky for me, the lead investigator happens to be my dashing beau, Darcy! Mother's movie and Darcy's larceny lead everyone to Cy's Hollywood home, where the likes of Charlie Chaplin are hanging about and there's enough romantic intrigue to fill a double feature. But we hardly get a chance to work out the sleeping arrangements before Cy turns up dead -- as if there wasn't enough drama already...
