Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare would never dare to think about investigating the suspicious death of a fellow guest at a weeklong house party at a country estate in the Lake District. A spinster who has been living on the sufferance of her aunt and uncle since the age of 6, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her hosts and other guests looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would never dare to question the imperious (and handsome) Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to mark the obvious murder as a suicide.

And yet when she stumbles upon the bludgeoned corpse of poor Mr. Otley in the deserted library of the Skeffingtons' country house, that's exactly what she does.

The first in a trilogy of Beatrice Hyde-Clare mysteries…
