About

What can possibly go wrong when Miss Juliette Abbott agrees to pass a pleasant fortnight chaperoning two young ladies making their debuts into Polite Society? In the spring of 1822, the Season is about to get underway when a frantic Lady Medley, of Medley Park, and her daughter Hannah and a friend, Miss Ellie Palmer, arrive in London; the girls excitedly looking forward to attending Almack's Assembly Rooms, passing long afternoons shopping in Mayfair, and evenings attending elegant balls. Miss Abbott and the two girls are no sooner settled into Mrs. Dandridge's home on Marsh Lane when Juliette begins to suspect that things are not what they seem. Already being bandied about Town is an account of the gruesome murder of Mrs. Dandridge's former housekeeper! When one of the Dandridge grandsons is accused of murdering the son of an earl, Juliette's dear friend Mr. Sheridan is dispatched by the Home Office to run the killer to ground. But when Juliette and her maid Tilda are accused of yet another crime, their lives teeter on the edge as they anxiously await Mr. Sheridan to save them from the gallows. But, can he reach Miss Abbott and Tilda before the killer hiding out on Marsh Lane takes Mr. Sheridan's life?
