A former actress by day and budding nuisance by night, she is certain that her life is in danger. And when her maid, Amy Reade, is found dead in her garden, she enlists Lord Hugo Anstead and his adventurous team of sleuths to unravel the case...before the murderer strikes again.Local journalist Marjorie Branell-Markson leads the undercover investigation, and is aided and abetted by her snappy young niece, Elizabeth, and her sleuthing chums, Algy Blake and Ronald Anstead, who are never far from the crime.
