A fresh, uncomplicated nineteenth-century adventure with a strong, unconventional amateur detective. Escape with Lady Cornbrook into the fun side of history.

Cordelia, Lady Cornbrook confronts her past. It's not pleasant, but luckily she's armed with a short, stabby sword.

It's late summer and Cordelia is rattling around her Surrey estate, annoying the servants and causing the gardeners to hide in the bushes. Her old friend – or nemesis – Hugo Hawke turns up, and he's closely followed by his own past. It's good news … at first.

But Cordelia has received a note warning her that she is at risk of harm from a "continental gentleman" and it turns out that the local area is positively brimming with potential suspects.

It's not Cordelia who is found dead in a stream, however.

The race is on to find the killer before they strike again. She's aided by her motely retinue of servants, and severely hampered by her well-meaning friends who only wish to help her improve her social standing.

Etiquette has never been Cordelia's strong point. But she's still got that sword…
