But when Alice arrives alone, desiring a break from her family, Eva becomes concerned. Her dismay deepens as Alice starts spending time with a former beau, Keenan Ripley, who owns the nearby pear orchard. At the same time, Phoebe's sister Julia, now a widow and pregnant, is in a fretful state, and Phoebe struggles to be helpful to her. 520 $a When Keenan's brother Stephen, the new head gardener at the Renshaw estate, Foxwood Hall, is found impaled by a pair of hedge clippers, the police--including Eva's beau, Constable Miles Brannock--suspect his closest kin.

A table set with two teacups and scones suggests Keenan had company the morning of the murder--and Eva fears her sister was with him. 520 $a If Alice were to provide Keenan with an alibi, her reputation and marriage would be ruined. She denies being there but is clearly withholding secrets, much to Eva's consternation. Now, to protect her sister, Eva and Phoebe set off to expose the gardener's real killer, putting their own lives at risk . . . 650 0 $a Aristocracy (Social class) $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Lady's maids $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z Cotswold Hills $z Cotswold Hills $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gardeners $x Crimes against $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen twenties $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Cotswold Hills (England) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y George V, 1910-1936 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 800 1 $a Maxwell, Alyssa. $t Lady and lady's maid mysteries ; $v 5. 941 $a 6 945 $a lpt 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006012818.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021927.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806013657.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210202011857.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20201226010549.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201007080908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16D266C2089E11EBA1C2147F38ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
