<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"An ingenious mystery and an excellent example of manners and caste systems of the Victorian era."<br>THE CHATTANOOGA TIMES<br>While the Ellison girls were out paying calls and drinking tea like proper Victorian ladies, a maid in their household was strangled to death. The quiet and young Inspector Pitt investigates the scene and finds no one above suspicion.
