Lady Rose Summer is the problem daughter of an Edwardian aristocrat. To prevent her parents from sending her to India, Rose arranges to be engaged to a private detective named Harry Cathcart. Against her parents' wishes, she also becomes an employee at his detective agency. Fueled by jealousy at Harry spending so much time with a beautiful client, Rose threatens her in public. The next day she discovers the woman murdered and is accused of the crime. The rest of the story involves trying to keep the press away from Rose while trying to find the killer. Quite frankly Rose and her companion, Daisy, annoyed me with their sheer stupidity. The sappy romance angle and last minute addition of other characters at the end made it seem the author couldn't figure out how to end the book. I enjoyed Beaton's Hamish MacBeth series but this Edwardian Murder Mysteries series is meh.
