Having been close companions during Jane’s childhood, especially after Jane’s mother died, aunt and niece grew apart when Jane went off to university and began a new life. In this first story of the series, their relationship has a chance to begin again with an invitation to a society birthday party at Linton Hall, where Lord Linton’s heir, Edward, has returned from years of living in Paris. Unfortunately, he’s failed to change his arrogant ways, which upsets many of the guests. For Kate and Lady Jane, looking forward to celebrating over canapes and champagne, the last thing they expect is to become amateur sleuths pitting their wits against Inspector Ridley of Scotland Yard to prevent the wrong person being hanged for murder. Faced with an ensemble of social climbers, eccentrics and schemers, aunt and niece must work together to untangle a web of secrets, lies and deceit if they're to discover whodunnit. Join Kate and Lady Jane in the first of their entertaining 1920s cozy mysteries. Perfect for fans of T. E. Kinsey, Verity Bright, and Lee Strauss.
