Trapped by a storm in a manor house, a daring female sleuth must expose the killer in their midst. England, 1821. Time with family is one of the comforts of life... until the skeletons come clawing their way out of the closets. Lady Mary Cavindish is beginning to regret accepting the invitation of her brother-in-law for a house party in the English countryside. The company is insufferable, the food worse, and then the host is found murdered. Trapped inside the manor by a once-in-a-century storm, Lady Mary knows every guest is in danger while a murderer runs loose. Determined to find justice for her brother-in-law, Lady Mary goes on a hunt for a killer, unearthing secrets that were never meant to see the light of day. Assisting in her pursuit, Henry Evans, the victim's attorney, feels duty-bound to investigate the crime, at least until authorities can arrive.

Lady Mary and her confederates must unravel a web of deceit and revenge if they are to find the killer. A killer quite willing to take their secrets to other people's graves.
