Beatrice Steele guarda un oscuro secreto: está obsesionada con el asesinato. No con el acto de cometerlo, sino con el acto de resolverlo.
Beatrice Steele, del pequeño municipio de Swampshire, en la campiña inglesa, nunca ha encajado en la definición de una verdadera dama según el estricto código de conducta que allí rige: no sabe coser ni tiene talento para la música. Vive sin sobresaltos junto a su madre, cuya única obsesión es conseguir un buen partido para sus hijas, junto a su padre, un bromista sin remedio, y junto a sus dos hermanas menores. Sin embargo, Beatrice guarda un secreto: sueña con resolver casos de crímenes reales sobre los que lee en el periódico e incluso ha llegado a cartearse con un inspector de Londres. Si alguien se enterara de su extraña afición, Beatrice sería considerada un bicho raro y sería expulsada para siempre de su respetable círculo social.
Cuando un misterioso detective caído en desgracia se deja ver sin motivo en Swampshire durante el gran baile de otoño y el soltero de oro con quien su madre quiere casar a otra de sus hijas, Louisa, se desploma en medio del salón, Beatrice intuye que están atrapados con un asesino y que es la oportunidad perfecta para resolver un crimen.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
When a wealthy bachelor drops dead at a ball, a young lady takes on the decidedly improper role of detective in this action-packed debut comedy of manners and murder.
"If you grew up reading Jane Austen and Agatha Christie (or are a fan of Bridgerton and Knives Out), you will adore A Most Agreeable Murder."--Kate Stayman-London, bestselling author of One to Watch
Feisty, passionate Beatrice Steele has never fit the definition of a true lady, according to the strict code of conduct that reigns in Swampshire, her small English township--she is terrible at needlework, has absolutely no musical ability, and her artwork is so bad it frightens people. Nevertheless, she lives a perfectly agreeable life with her marriage-scheming mother, prankster father, and two younger sisters-- beautiful Louisa and forgettable Mary. But she harbors a dark secret: She is obsessed with the true crime cases she reads about in the newspaper. If anyone in her etiquette-obsessed community found out, she'd be deemed a morbid creep and banished from respectable society forever.
For her family's sake, she's vowed to put her obsession behind her. Because eligible bachelor Edmund Croaksworth is set to attend the approaching autumnal ball, and the Steele family hopes that Louisa will steal his heart. If not, Martin Grub, their disgusting cousin, will inherit the family's estate, and they will be ruined or, even worse, forced to move to France. So, Beatrice must be on her best behavior . . . which is made difficult when a disgraced, yet alluring detective inexplicably shows up to the ball.
Beatrice is just 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 they 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.
