Synopsis :

I briefly considered the option of swooning in a ladylike manner, but I was denied this by virtue of position: I was a maid; and by natural inclination: I have never known how to swoon. Instead I did what I believe most females of sensibility would have done finding themselves alone with a murdered corpse. I screamed exceedingly loudly, quite in the common manner and pelted out of the room . . . In December 1909 the Reverend Joshia Martins expires in a dish of mutton and onions leaving his family on the brink of destitution. Joshia's daughter, Euphemia, takes it upon herself to provide for her mother and little brother by entering service. She is young, fit, intelligent, a little naive and assumes the life of a maid won't be too demanding. However, on her first day at the unhappy home of Sir Stapleford she discovers a murdered body. Euphemia's innate sense of justice has her prying where no servant should look and uncovering some of the darker secrets of the Stapleford family. All she has to defend herself with is her quick wits, sense of humour and the ultimate weapon of all virtuous young women, her scream.

À propos de l'auteur: Caroline Dunford lives in Scotland with her partner and two young sons. When she isn't attending to the whims of the men in her life she writes short stories, plays, novels, non-fiction and the occasional article. As all authors are required to have as much life experience as possible she has, at various times, been a drama-coach, an archery instructor, a counsellor, a qualified psychotherapist, a charity worker, a journalist, a voice actor, a hypnotherapist and a playwright. While accepting life will always throw many and varied challenges at all of us she believes a sense of humour remains the most effective shield against the trials and tribulations of life.
