When Sir Geoffrey Blandon makes his intentions know that he would like the hand of Lady Rose Summer, her father wants to know if his intentions are honorable and hires the rather questionable Captain Harry Cathcare to do some intelligence work. Lady Rose, still young and impetuous, outs Blandon and is therefore called into question herself as not being ladylike and rather ruined for the season if not for all suitable suitors. Being banished from all proper soirees, Lady Rose finally accepts a weekend invitation to Lord Hedley’s estate and what do you think happens – a woman is murdered, fingers are pointed, accusations are made and it’s up to Rose, her newly fashioned and quite clever maid Daisy, Cathcare and his servant Becket to save the day. And don’t forget Superintendent Kerridge of the Scotland Yard who just might have his eye on that unfeminine female.This was a fun romp of Edwardian scandal, intrigue and high society.Marion Chesney also writes the M. C. Beaton series Agatha Raisin and Hamish MacBeth Amazon Review:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312997167/ref=cm_cr_mts_prod_img
