A former actress by day and budding nuisance by night, she is certain that her life is in danger. And when her maid, Amy Reade, is found dead in her garden, she enlists Lord Hugo Anstead and his adventurous team of sleuths to unravel the case...before the murderer strikes again.Local journalist Marjorie Branell-Markson leads the undercover investigation, and is aided and abetted by her snappy young niece, Elizabeth, and her sleuthing chums, Algy Blake and Ronald Anstead, who are never far from the crime. And with the able assistance of the village's premier busybodies, Jane Holden and Olivia Crane, they leave not a stone unturned.A lively collection of suspects cloud the investigation, including shady Sylvia Dalton, who was once on trial for murdering her husband--and who got off without a stain on her character. Her lazy nephew, Anthony Harding and his sister, Fiona, definitely have something to hide, and volcanic Victor Trent and stage producer Maury Malden know how to hold their tongues.But when a string of villagers are attacked without rhyme or reason, Lord Hugo and the Mystery Society must race to discover the truth...before the curtain of crime rises again!The Moriston House Mystery Series...cozy and classic English mysteries!
