At the same time, Lucy's special friend Major Robert Kurland is summoned to the city to accept a baronetcy for his wartime heroism. <p/>Amidst the dizzying whirl of balls and formal dinners, the focus shifts from mixing and matchmaking to murder when the dowager Countess of Broughton, the mother of an old army friend of Robert, drops dead. When it's revealed she's been poisoned, Robert's former betrothed, Miss Chingford, is accused, and she in turn points a finger at Anna. To protect her sister, Lucy enlists Robert's aid in drawing out the true culprit. <p/>But with suspects ranging from resentful rivals and embittered family members to the toast of the ton, it will take all their sleuthing skills to unmask the poisoner before more trouble is stirred up. . . <p/><b>Praise for <i>Death Comes to the Village</i></b> <p/>[A] delightful debut. . .Readers will hope death returns soon to Kurland St. Mary. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review) <p/>Lloyd combines a satisfying mystery with plenty of wit and character development. --<i>Booklist</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Catherine Lloyd was born in London, England.
