Crime was never more fashionable as Lord Hugo Anstead and the Mayfair Detective Agency investigate a mysterious death at Endwell Cottage, home of former fashion model, Isla Harper. When her dull daughter-in-law, Valerie, is found strangled on a lonely beach in Devon, no one is above suspicion. Everyone at Endwell Cottage had a reason to commit the crime, including Isla's scandalous son, Roger, the dubious financier, Kenneth Russell, and the victim's shadowy sister, Catherine. And when Lord Hugo and the teatime sleuths go undercover, they unravel a trail of danger and deception as they race to solve the case before the murderer strikes again.
