Widowed Lady Rosamund spends the first months of her mourning in the Lake District, where it's safe and peaceful, and murders are exceedingly rare. Luckily, she is rescued from this tedium by a house party comprised of playwrights, poets, and actors-an immoral set of persons with whom no respectable lady should associate.

Produktbeschreibung
Widowed Lady Rosamund spends the first months of her mourning in the Lake District, where it's safe and peaceful, and murders are exceedingly rare. Luckily, she is rescued from this tedium by a house party comprised of playwrights, poets, and actors-an immoral set of persons with whom no respectable lady should associate. Even so, she hardly expected to wake in the wee hours to find one of the guests lying dead. As if that wasn't troublesome enough, Gilroy McBrae is at the same party, masquerading as a footman to investigate a series of thefts. Was the sudden death an accident-or murder? Almost everyone had reason to loathe their unpleasant fellow guest. Rosie must set aside her confused emotions about McBrae and work with him to find the culprit before an innocent person is accused of the crime.
Autorenporträt
Winner of the Holt Medallion, Maggie, Daphne du Maurier, Reviewer's Choice, and Epic awards, USA Today bestselling author Barbara Monajem wrote her first story at eight years old about apple tree gnomes. After publishing a middle-grade fantasy, she settled on historical mysteries and romances with intrepid heroines and long-suffering heroes (or vice versa). Barbara used to have two items on her bucket list: to make asparagus pudding and to succeed at knitting socks. She managed the first (don't ask) but doubts she'll ever accomplish the second. This is not a bid for immortality but merely the dismal truth. She lives near Atlanta with an ever-shifting population of relatives, friends, and feline strays.
