Nevertheless, she lives a perfectly agreeable life. But she harbors a dark secret: She is obsessed with true crime. If anyone in her etiquette-obsessed community found out, she'd be deemed a morbid creep and banished from respectable society forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor her family's sake, she's vowed to put her obsession behind her. Eligible bachelor Edmund Croaksworth is set to attend the approaching autumnal ball, and the Steele family hopes that younger daughter Louisa will steal his heart. So Beatrice must be on her best behavior--a difficult challenge when a disgraced yet alluring detective inexplicably shows up to the ball. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeatrice is\u003ci\u003e just\u003c\/i\u003e holding things together when Croaksworth drops dead in the middle of a minuet. As a storm rages outside, the evening descends into a frenzy of panic, fear, and betrayal as it becomes clear that the guests are trapped with a killer. Contending with competitive card games, tricky tonics, and Swampshire's infamous squelch holes, Beatrice must rise above decorum and decency to pursue justice and her own desires--before anyone else is murdered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003ePUBLISHERS WEEKLY \u003c\/i\u003eBEST BOOK OF THE YEAR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulia Seales \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer and screenwriter based in Los Angeles.
