This is the fourth in this fun, romantic series. Lady Rose Summer usually finds herself investigating cases of murder and intrigue but this time finds herself the suspect in a murder case, having threatened the victim the night before her body is found. Only the dashing Captain Harry Cathcart can prove her innocence. Great fun.
Lady Rose Summer prides herself on not being a jealous woman - and she knows her engagement to Captain Harry Cathcart is only a ruse to keep her parents from shipping her off to India to find a husband. But then Harry's latest client, Dolores Duval - French, curvaceous, flirtatious - starts appearing everywhere at his side. And that changes everything. In a fit of temper Rose threatens Dolores - only to be found the very next day standing over her dead body. Only Harry can clear Rose's name - and to do that he has to put the real murderer behind bars...
