Klappentext

A glamorous engagement celebration in an English country manor house... and a local maid dead. Somebody call Kitty Underhay! At home in Devon, Kitty is attending a ball at the very grand Markham Hall. With celebrations in full swing and everyone kitted out in their glad rags, Kitty and Matt enjoy the champagne. But the next morning, the party feels well and truly over when Kitty stumbles across a body while out walking her dog, Bertie. The maid Agnes is dead, and everyone at Markham Hall is a suspect... Kitty and Matt set about piecing together the puzzle as the streamers are swept away and empty glasses gathered up. But who could the murderer be? The other maids seem shifty; Lord and Lady Faversham, the hosts, are not without motive, and even Kitty's grandmother is keeping her cards close to her chest this time... But then a safe filled with precious jewels has its lock broken, and another body is found tangled up in the weeds of the lake in the grounds. Kitty wonders if the poor guest knew their dancing days were almost over when they were merrily sipping punch the night before? And what secrets are the other guests hiding... Can Kitty save the next victim at the eleventh hour? Or will this really be a weekend to die for? Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey or Verity Bright will adore this totally charming murder mystery. The perfect treat for cozy crime fans! What readers are saying about Helena Dixon: 'I LOVED this book!... Just perfection. If I had to sum this book up in three words it would be WOW WOW WOW.' NetGalley reviewer,
