Darriby Hall is famous for entertaining busybody aristocrats, tales from distant lands, and a dead body . . . now and then.

When Lady Darriby-Jones encounters a roadblock on her quest to reclaim her beloved Rolls-Royce, she dismisses it as another molehill magnified by the local constabulary into a mountainous mess. Little does she know, the kerfuffle involves more than a traffic hiccup—it's a symphony of chaos orchestrated by the untimely demise of her dodgy yet reliable mechanic.

Her mechanic may not have been a choir boy, but a dead one?

The plot thickens when her driver becomes the prime suspect, courtesy of DCI Rude Manners—the reigning champion of inept policing in England. As Lady Darriby-Jones navigates clues leading to dead ends, it appears the elusive killer has mastered the art of staying two steps ahead.

In a world where manners are a must, Lady Darriby-Jones unleashes her own form of etiquette—digging into secrets that lurk around every corner and outfoxing a cunning killer determined to dance away from justice.

Will she succeed in untangling the web of deception that entwines her, or will the killer's schemes lead her on a twisted tango into the shadows?
