Women's rights-back in 1928 were really just beginning. Of course in Britain the older generation was not at all pleased-especially the upper classes. Eliza grew up in an upper class with all the privedges that brought. However she decided to break with tradition and moved to London to persue a career as an artist. Her family was not at all pleased--thankfully her father paid for an apartment in a better section for her without her Mom knowing about it. Her Mom said if she left she could never come back----
Then a letter arrived from her Mother telling her she had to return-it was an emergency-but did not tell her what it was about. She should have known better----
Turns out the emergency was that she was to meet a certain gentleman and then marry him? It was kind of comical when they met at dinner that evening--She a modern woman--he a conservative of the old school--She finally agreed to talk to him-went to her room to meet him--and found him dead.
She was the prime suspect and knowing this she knew she would have to try and find the real murderer. Lots of twists and turns. You will be shocked when you find out who did it!!
