Overhearing a conversation, Sir Cyril’s rage is ignited. Is there anything he won’t do to save the family reputation and take the title … and money … for himself? When a murder is discovered, calling the police is forbidden, so amateur sleuth Eliza Thomson, and her friend Connie, take it upon themselves to investigate… 3) Dying for a Garden Party Two families, one man and murder.
