This is the first book in a series by the author of the Hamish MacBeth and Agatha Raisin mystery series. Lady Rose Summer, an strong minded, upper crust, young Edwardian woman, has found herself in disgrace after participating in Suffragette demonstrations and having her photo in the newspaper. This is a disaster for her "season", when she is supposed to be putting herself on display at balls and parties for the purpose of finding a "suitable" husband. While Lady Rose is at a house party a murder occurs and she finds herself assisting in the investigation with a Captain Cathcart who she despises. In addition to the investigation, Lady Rose is trying to prevent being sent to India by her parents who believe her chances of a good marriage have been ruined by publicity but might find a match among the officers stationed there. It's a light and amusing read.
