Introducing chef-sleuth Nell Drury in the first of a delightful
series of 1920's traditional country house mysteries.
1925. The fashionable Bright Young Things from London have descended
on Wychbourne Court, the Kentish stately home of Lord and Lady Ansley,
for an extravagant fancy dress ball followed by a midnight Ghost Hunt -
and Chef Nell Drury knows she's in for a busy weekend. What she doesn't
expect to encounter is sudden, violent death.
When a body is discovered in the minstrels' gallery during the Ghost
Hunt, Nell finds herself caught up in the police investigation which
follows. As the darker side of the Roaring Twenties emerges and it
becomes increasingly clear that at least one person present that night
has a sinister secret to hide, Nell determines to unmask the killer
among them. Could the Wychbourne Ghosts hold the key to the mystery?
