\nFeisty\, passi onate Beatrice Steele has never fit the definition of a true lady\, accord ing to the strict code of conduct that reigns in Swampshire\, her small En glish township-she is terrible at needlework\, has no musical ability\, an d her artwork is so bad it frightens people. Nevertheless\, she lives a pe rfectly agreeable life with her marriage-scheming mother\, prankster fathe r\, and two younger sisters-beautiful Louisa and forgettable Mary. But she harbors a dark secret: She is obsessed with the true crime cases she read s about in the newspaper\, even going so far as to try to solve them herse lf. If anyone in her etiquette-obsessed community found out\, she'd be dee med a morbid creep and banished from respectable society forever. For her family's sake\, she's vowed to put her obsession behind her. Because eligi ble bachelor Edmund Croaksworth is set to attend the approaching autumnal ball\, and the Steele family hopes that Louisa will steal his heart. If no t\, Martin Grub\, their disgusting cousin\, will inherit the family's esta te\, and they will be ruined\, or even worse\, forced to move to mime-infe sted France. So Beatrice must be on her best behavior...which is made diff icult when a disgraced yet alluring detective inexplicably shows up to the ball. Beatrice is just holding things together when Croaksworth drops dea d in the middle of a minuet. As a storm rages outside\, the evening descen ds into a frenzy of panic\, fear\, and betrayal as it becomes clear they a re trapped with a killer. Contending with competitive card games\, tricky tonics\, and Swampshire's infamous squelch holes\, Beatrice must rise abov e decorum and decency to pursue justice and her own desires-before anyone else is murdered.
