Book excerpt: An Edwardian murder mystery After a brief and ill-advised dalliance with the Suffragette movement, Lady Rose Summer's debut in high society turns out to be a complete disaster. Rose's father suspects that her fiance, Sir Geoffrey Blandon, is a first-class scoundrel and calls in Captain Harry Cathcart to investigate. After her scandalous public break-up with Blandon, Rose attends the last-chance soiree at Telby Castle for aristocratic women with dubious matrimonial prospects. But when a malicious guest is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Rose becomes far more interested in discovering the truth than in landing a suitor. As Harry and Rose begin to unravel this web of lies and rumours, a clever murderer sets out to make Rose's disastrous first season her last.
