Publisher's Synopsis
After a year-long mourning period following the death of her philandering husband, Frances Wynn, Countess of Harleigh, believes herself finally free of her money-grubbing late husband's family. With her young daughter in tow, Frances lets a home in London--a single woman on her own, quite the scandal! With her younger sister Lily coming in from America for the London season, Frances is going to need her money, her patience, and some investigative prowess to prevent her heiress sister from rushing into marriage with just any English lord. But then the Metropolitan police receive an anonymous letter implicating Frances as her husband's murderer and a series of thefts occur among the London society elite, bringing more death to Frances' doorstep. As a pampered aristocrat, Frances' skills center on flower arranging and seating charts. Now she must call on her wits, her dashing neighbor George, and a circle of gossiping friends and enemies to flush out a killer before Lily marries him--or Frances becomes his next victim!
