In post–World War I England, Lady Phoebe Renshaw and
her
lady’s maid, Eva Huntford, step outside of their social
roles and put their lives at risk to apprehend a vicious
killer…
December 1918: As a difficult year draws to a close,
there
is much to celebrate for nineteen-year-old Phoebe Renshaw
and her three siblings at their beloved family estate of
Foxwood Hall. The dreadful war is finally over; eldest
daughter Julia’s engagement to their houseguest, the
Marquis
of Allerton, appears imminent; and all have gathered to
enjoy peace on earth, good will toward men.
But the peace of Foxwood Hall is shattered on the morning
of
Boxing Day, when the Marquis goes missing. Not entirely
missing, however, as macabre evidence of foul play turns
up
in gift boxes given to lady’s maid Eva Huntford and a
handful of others. Having overheard her sister and the
Marquis in a heated exchange the night before, Lady
Phoebe
takes a personal interest in solving the mystery.
As the local constable suspects a footman at Foxwood
Hall,
Phoebe and Eva follow the clues to a different
conclusion.
But both young women will need to think outside the box
to
wrap up this case—before a cornered killer lashes out
with
ill will toward them…
