After a couple of pages into this book, you’d be forgiven for mistakenly thinking this is a textbook murder mystery.
“Based on a True Story” by Sarah Vaughan, revolves around Dame Eleanor Kingman. She’s a famous and wealthy children’s author who is hosting her 70th birthday party at her gorgeous mansion along the North Cornwall coastline, which is perched on a clifftop overlooking the sea. On the night of the party, a sudden violent rainstorm threatens to cut the outdoor event short. But that isn’t the real threat.
