Beatrice Steele, the eldest of three daughters, has an affinity for solving crime (even submitting tips to the local detective for fun). When she attends a ball and a murder occurs, she teams up with the town detective's former partner to find the culprit. This story isn't your typical Regency-era mystery—it's satirical and laugh-out-loud hilarious! Beatrice is a witty and charismatic narrator who guides readers through her bizarre shenanigans, and her story is outrageously fun. (HH)
