Ah, the London Debutante Season: Giggles and tea-dances, white dresses and inappropriate romances. And much too much champagne. And, apparently, a blackmailer, which is where Inspector Roderick Alleyn comes in. The social whirl is decidedly not Alleynâs environment, so he brings in an assistant in the form of Lord âBunchyâ Gospell, everybodyâs favorite uncle. Bunchy is more than loveable; heâs also got some serious sleuthing skills. But before he can unmask the blackmailer, a murder is announced. And everyone suddenly stops giggling.
