MEET ELIZABETH HARTLEIGH COMPTON, SHE'S THE HOUSE-RICH,
MONEY-POOR KEEPER OF THE MANOR -- AND KEEPER OF THE
PEACE...
In WWII England, the quiet village of Sitting Marsh is
faced with food rations and fear for loved ones. But
Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton, lady of the Manor House,
stubbornly insists that life must go on. Sitting Marsh
residents depend on Elizabeth to make sure things go
smoothly. Which means everything from sorting out gossip
to solving the occasional murder...
As the threat of invasion has loomed over Sitting Marsh
for the past five years, the town's citizens have had
little reason to celebrate. But now a wedding is taking
place, and everyone is ready to enjoy the festivities. It
seems like the perfect day. That is, until an uninvited
guest appears at the reception...and ends up stabbed
through the heart. Elizabeth is soon on the case, and
there's no shortage of suspects. Can she put the pieces
together before the wrong man is convicted?
