An Edwardian Murder Mystery: It is 1905; King Edward VII is on the throne. In the year following her debutante season, Lady Charlotte is trying to come to terms with the demands of being the daughter of a marquess, and the inequalities faced by women in the early 20th century. She is also suffering from an undiagnosed eating disorder. The Walstone Fair is an annual event, for which enthusiasm is shared above and below stairs. On the morning after the fair, the body of a house maid is discovered. Is the killer to be found at Askton Hall? Inspector Bolton must bring the murderer to justice. Will he find the killer in the grand family rooms above stairs, or in the servant's hall? As the case unravels, long-held secrets are exposed and lives laid bare.
