Lady Rose Summer, the wayward Edwardian debutante who keeps getting mixed up in disreputable adventures, would swear she is not a jealous woman. After all, she knows her engagement to private detective Captain Harry Cathcart is only a ploy to keep her parents from shipping her off to India. But then Harry's latest client, Dolores Duval—a vision of curves with a seductive French accent—starts appearing everywhere at his side. In a fit of rage, Rose threatens Dolores, only to be found the very next day, standing over her dead body. The newspapers rush to convict her, but can Harry and Detective Superintendent Kerridge clear her name?

      Davina Porter is always fun, but she made me laugh out loud doing the sepulchral voice of the Earl's butler whenever he answers the door to Captain Cathcart or Detective Kerridge, who are, after all, only trying to keep Lady Rose, the daughter of the house, from being arrested for murder. M.C. Beaton writing as Marion Chesney has created an Edwardian froth about headstrong Lady Rose, who doesn't want to get married, and her Cockney companion, Daisy, who does, and the uproar when Rose's fiancé, Private Investigator Cathcart, provides paid protection to a mysterious courtesan, and Rose is found standing over the woman's body with a gun in her hand. Class and character tell in the accents, and Porter's command here is witty and total. B.G. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
