Stranded at a house party - when a murderer strikes! May 1861,
Victorian England. When Matthew and Harriet Rowsley are invited to
a house party at Clunston Park by Matthew's cousin, Colonel
Barrington Rowsley and his wife Lady Hortensia, Harriet is nervous
- surely the aristocratic guests will snub her? After all, they are
but mere servants in their eyes! Her fears are realized on their
first evening when the only person who deigns to speak to her is
the spiteful Grafin Weiser and confirmed when she commits a major
faux pas at the cricket match the following day. But there's no
escape! The cricket match is abandoned due to a storm, and flooding
leaves the house guests stranded. Things worsen when Grafin Weiser
is found murdered and the finger is quickly pointed at Clara, an
eleven-year-old maid, as the culprit. Convinced that she cannot be
guilty, Harriet and Matthew agree to investigate. The aristocratic
facade begins to crumble under their scrutiny, and they start to
unlock the secrets of Clunston Park. Why does the Colonel allow his
bullying friend Major Jameson so much leeway? Is there more to the
befuddled Lord Pidgeon than meets the eye? Harriet and Matthew must
uncover the truth, before they find themselves in deadly danger . .
