Summary

"During the lull between two world wars, just outside the proper English village of Market Winsome, a weekend house party is being hosted by Dowager Duchess of Faughstrayne. Her once-magnificent estate, the Castle Crawsbey, may have succumbed to disrepair, but the former chorus girl turned aristocrat shill has what it takes to impress her guests. Just one rule: don't mention the host's dead husband or her missing son, lest you be met with a violet-eyed star that could positively kill. But what offense was committed by the harmless visitor, American Admiral Cornelius Brandon? A dreadful one apparently. His body has been discovered at the bottom of the neglected koi pond tied to a submerged statue of Neptune. And the weekend has only just begun."--adapted from front flap
