The Burlington Affair Carol Parrilli

When tour director, Madeline Marlborough, reluctantly agrees to escort a mismatched group of American tourists to London and the English countryside, she has no idea she is about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. After a hilarious misunderstanding with London Heathrow's Airport security, Madeline rescues her jetlagged detainees and they all emerge from the Customs Hall laughing and talking as if they had known each other for years. The tour goes wonderfully, with Madeline providing her incomparable spin on British history. However, the jovial atmosphere comes to an abrupt halt when the group's youngest member, eighteen-year-old Kelly Dalton, never returns from an afternoon shopping expedition to the Burlington Arcade. Rallying her troops, Madeline uses their unique talents to unravel the mystery surrounding Kelly's disappearance. Join Texas cowboy, Jake Donovan, the elderly Talbot sisters from Wisconsin and best friend, Chloe Ambrose as Madeline marshals her little army of sleuths into battle.
