Set amid the legendary Mitford household, the second in
the thrilling, Golden Age-style Mitford Murders series by
Jessica Fellowes, author of the New York Times
bestselling Downton Abbey books.
Meet the Bright Young Things, the rabble-rousing hedonists
of the 1920s whose treasure hunts were a media obsession.
One such game takes place at the 18th birthday party of
Pamela Mitford, but ends in tragedy as cruel, charismatic
Adrian Curtis is pushed to his death from the church
neighbouring the Mitford home.
The police quickly identify the killer as a maid, Dulcie.
But Louisa Cannon, chaperone to the Mitford girls and a
former criminal herself, believes Dulcie to be innocent, and
sets out to clear the girl's name . . . all while the real
killer may only be steps away.
