ByPublisher Description
A little music, a little dancing, a little murder at the spring ball.
England, 1925. After years shut away from the world, former detective Lord Edgington of Cranley Hall plans a grand ball to celebrate his seventy-fifth birthday.
But when someone starts bumping off members of his scheming family, the old man enlists his teenage grandson to help find the killer, before one of them is next.
The mismatched duo must pick the culprit from a gaggle of preening playboys, scatter-brained spinsters and irate inspectors in this Agatha-Christie-style whodunnit that will have you racing to spot the killer.

3.5
“I really enjoyed this! Chrissy and Lord Edgington were a fun pair to follow, and I liked seeing the mystery through Chrissy’s eyes. The cast was full of eccentric personalities without ever becoming hard to keep track of, and Todd was a particular favourite.
I had an inkling about the culprit, but I never quite worked out how everything fitted together, so I was happy with the reveal. The pacing kept me turning the pages, and while calling a murder mystery “fun” might sound odd, that’s exactly how I felt about this one. As my first Lord Edgington mystery, it definitely made me want to pick up the next book in the series.”
