About the book
In high society households, the staff are expected to remain inconspicuous, but a deceased butler in the dining room is hard to ignore. The question arises: did he pass away naturally or was he poisoned?
After the police declare the butler's sudden demise as natural causes, Cleo is hired by the housekeeper of a Mayfair residence. Unconvinced of the ruling, she tasks Cleo with proving foul play was at hand. With the butler's peculiar behavior around certain guests and their equally cryptic reactions towards him, the possibility of murder looms.
As Cleo delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers another old murder case and the abrupt vanishing of the main suspect. Determined to unveil the truth, she faces obstacles from the wealthy and influential individuals who prefer to keep their skeletons in the closet. Teaming up with Harry Armitage, Cleo engages in a battle of wits with her suspects in a bid to expose the hidden secrets they are fiercely guarding.
