Inhaltsangabe

Lady Eleanor Merritt has spent the last year mourning her husband in a cloud of black crepe, but when a guest at a Hampshire house party dies under suspicious circumstances, she is dispatched to Sutton Place to ensure the scandal remains a quiet 'accident.' What she finds is a drawing room full of suspects performing innocence with varying degrees of theatrical commitment. From the grieving widow to the suspiciously cheerful hostess, everyone has a motive, and everyone is lying. With Inspector Hale stuck in London and her own reputation hanging by a thread, Eleanor must navigate a minefield of social propriety and poisoned tea to uncover the truth before the next guest arrives. Because in a house of secrets, the only thing more dangerous than a murder is a scandal that ruins a marriage.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

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.
