Back in London from Morland Manor, clever young Miss Juliette Abbott and her former employer's niece Miss Cathleen Haworth are cataloging Lady Carstairs' priceless artifacts in order to sell them to a London Curiosity Dealer, but before the girls can approach the handsome man, he turns up dead! With only two likely suspects and no funds to hire a Bow Street detective to investigate the crime, Juliette takes on the task of solving the mystery herself. Attempting to uncover who killed the kind gentleman who made female hearts flutter and whom everyone declares was the most thoughtful man alive, keeps Juliette awake at night and on her toes each day. Can she succeed without putting her own life in jeopardy, or will the killer strike again before Juliette can sort out the puzzle?
