Sunday Rundown: That's What She Read

Mini Update

Honestly, this might be the last post of the week. My work schedule already made me cry when I saw it. With the hours they gave me, I won't be able to post unless I wake up early. I may need to pre-plan my posts until I'm off on the 30th.

No stranger to sprawling country estates, wealthy Daisy Dalrymple is breaking new ground in having scandalously traded silver spoon for pen and camera to cover a story for Town and Country magazine. But her planned interviews with the inhabitants of Wentwater Court give way to interrogation after suave Lord Stephen Astwick meets a dire fate on the tranquil skating pond.

Armed with evidence that his fate was anything but accidental, Daisy joins forces with Scotland Yard to examine an esteemed collection of suspects and to see that the unlikely culprit doesn't slip through their fingers just as the unfortunate Astwick slipped through the ice.
