Synopsis

London, 1891. The newly widowed Marchioness of Merritt is determined to return to society before her mourning period is officially over, despite her mother-in-law's disapproval. Her first event since Edmund's death is a glittering ball at the home of a notorious rake. But beneath the refreshment table, Eleanor finds a body-and a scandal that threatens to ruin the entire Season. With Scotland Yard baffled and the suspects all too polite to confess, Eleanor must navigate a minefield of blackmail, secret debts, and social hypocrisy to solve the crime. She never asked to be a detective, but as she discovers, the only way to survive the Season is to outwit the people who think she's just a woman in a mourning bonnet.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Beatrice Marlowe writes Victorian and Edwardian historical mysteries with a generous helping of wit, set in a world of manners, murder, and magnificent hats. Her novels pair the plotting precision of a classic country-house whodunit with the lighter touch of a P. G. Wodehouse comedy of manners, inviting readers to settle in for an evening of tea, scandal, and a body most inconveniently discovered.

For Beatrice, the Victorian and Edwardian era is escapism at its most delicious: the clothes, the carriages, the delicious tension of women doing things they were not at all supposed to do. She writes for readers who want their mysteries clever, their heroines dry, and their endings satisfyingly tied up in ribbon.

She lives in a small house filled with books, teacups, and an unreasonable number of period hats.
