It's the early 1920s in England - the country is still
recovering from the Great War and undergoing rapid social
changes that many are not quite ready to accept. During
this heady and tumultuous time, the Honourable Daisy
Dalrymple, the daughter of a Viscount, makes a decision
shocking to her class: rather than be supported by her
relations, she will earn her own living as a writer.
Landing an assignment for Town & Country magazine for a
series of articles on country manor houses she travels to
Wentwater Court in early January 1923 to begin research on
her first piece. But all is not well there when she
arrives. Lord Wentwater's young wife has become the center
of a storm of jealousy, animosity, and, possibly, some not-
unwanted amorous attention, which has disrupted the peace
of the bucolic country household. Still, this is as
nothing compared to the trouble that ensues when one of
the holiday guests drowns in a tragic early-morning
skating accident. Especially when Daisy discovers that his
death was no accident...
