Mariah Ellison, grandmama of Charlotte (married to Thomas Pitt policeman) is very put out to be spending Christmas with her former daughter-in-law and her new husband in Romney Marshes. Already cantankerous, she escalates the indignity of the situation despite everything done to make her very welcome. Maud Barrington joins the household after returning home after 40 years abroad in Muslim Africa because Maud's family believes she will be an embarrassment to a visiting peer. Maud entertains with her story of her travels and secretly Grandmama is interested. When Grandmama discovers Maud cold and dead, she decides to inform Maud's family. When the sisters reactions don't measure up, Grandmama decides she too can solve this mystery.
A Victorian Christmas mystery. Readers of cosy mysteries may enjoy this one.
