Warning: Afternoon tea with Lady Woodridge can and will be fatal.
Evangeline "Evie" Parker, Countess of Woodridge, has trekked out to her country estate, Halton House. It's time to pick up the reins and re-establish herself in the district. No easy task when one of her afternoon tea guests is poisoned. Is it a coincidence when another guest is found dead from poison?
Scotland Yard steps in. While Evie trusts they will find the killer, she takes exception when the finger of suspicion is pointed at her.
Evie has her hands full trying to keep the name of Woodridge free of scandal as well as mending fences with her maid Caro who has found a unique way of expressing her displeasure.
If the poisoner doesn't get her then, surely, her maid Caro will . . .

Good background book. The mystery isn't the most compelling and the ending abrupt. I find it odd that some of Evie's stsnding who is very adamant that strict social codes be met lets ger staff behave however they like. Out of keeping with the character building.
