Description: Like many young Englishwomen, the Honorable Daisy Dalrymple lost the man she loved in World War I. She also lost her brother so the ancestral home now belongs to a cousin. Not wanting to be the poor relation on sufferance, Daisy is trying to make a living as a writer. After successfully pitching a series of articles on stately homes to a magazine, she heads to her first assignment at Wentwater Court where she finds a household on edge – followed by murder! When Scotland Yard is called in, Daisy’s photographic skill and observations of the family are invaluable to the handsome chief inspector trying to solve the mystery without offending the aristocracy.
