About this product

Product Information

Captain Harry Cathcart and Lady Rose Summer have entered into an engagement of convenience-convenient for Rose, who wants to avoid being sent to India with all the other failed debutantes. Despite her considerable good looks, Rose's sharp intellect and radical ideas have served to repel her would be suitors. Rose's parents, unaware of the deception, are hardly thrilled that their only child is marrying a man in trade, but Harry comes from a good family, and at the very least, they hope hewill keep their troublesome daughter out of mischief.Unfortunately, even a pretend engagement cannot save Rose from trouble. Bored with endless parties, teas, and balls, she befriends Dolly Tremaine, a beautiful young girl newly arrived from the country and overwhelmed by the demands of the Season. Rose is delighted to have a protégée but their friendship is cut tragically short when Dolly is found floating in a river. Harry is summoned immediately to help solve the mystery of Dolly's death, and to keep Rose from being the murderer's next victim.

Reviews
"If you missed the first novel in this series, get it right away. Snobbery with Violence introduced the Edwardian heroine Lady Rose Summer. Her second appearance is, if anything, even wittier and more amusing than the debut."-- The Globe and Mail on Hasty Death "Once again Chesney has concocted an amusing brew of mystery and romance that will keep her fans turning the pages."-- Publishers Weekly on Hasty Death "If you are a fan of well written traditional mysteries, Lord Peter and Albert Campion, you might want to try this series."-- Reviewing the Evidence on Hasty Death "Light, amusing, easy to read and thoroughly delightful."-- Tampa Tribune on Snobbery with Violence "Old hand Chesney (the School for Manners series and, as M. C. Beaton, the Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth mysteries) maintains her charm and sassiness while indicting evergreen pomposity and class-status stupidity."-- Kirkus on Snobbery with Violence "Combines history, romance, and intrigue resulting in a delightful romantic mystery."-- Midwest Book Review on Snobbery with Violence, "If you missed the first novel in this series, get it right away."
