In March of 1926, Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher
and her friend and collaborator Lucy (a.k.a. Lady Gerald)
head off for several days at stately home reputed to have
the best grotto in the country. Working on a book of follies
(architectural), they plan to research and photograph it.
Leaving her husband and young twins behind, Daisy is
expecting a productive weekend at Appsworth Hall, with the
only potential difficulty being keeping Lucy from offending
the current owner, a manufacturer of plumbing products.
Alas, it’s not to be quite so simple. At the home, they find
themselves faced with a curious assortment of people
including the abominable, tactless Lord Rydal, who is
rumored to be having an affair with one of the guests while
at the same time in ardent and artless pursuit of the hand
in marriage of another. When the grotto explodes with Lord
Rydal in it, it’s not a question of who would do it—as most
who’ve met him would be sorely tempted—but who actually did
do it.
