Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This third in this mystery series featuring Lady Margaret Priam (following A Perfect Day for Dying and It's Her Funeral) finds Lady Margaret swallowed up by a pack of overdressed and underworked society ladies. Organized by Gloria Anton (rumored to have tried to run down her ex-husband and his younger wife), these ladies are planning a fund-raising designer show house?in the same house where Gloria's brother died under mysterious circumstances 40 years ago. In this hilarious sendup of high society, Lady Margaret soon sees through the pampered and polished veneer of these society mavens into a tangle of lies and hatreds. Lady Margaret's wry approach to crime solving (aided by her circle of urbane friends) makes for an enjoyable, lighthearted immersion into sophisticated society.

LOOK WHO'S BACK IN TOWN. . .
None other than notorious Gloria Gilpin Forsythe Anton--with a fresh face-lift, a new husband, and plans for a major social comeback. But Gloria is riding for a fall--a fatal one--down the back stairs of an old East Side mansion, that she's turned into a lavish designer showhouse.
Elegant society snoop Lady Margaret Priam is troubled and intrigued by this mysterious blueblood tragedy, which mimics another tragic death in the same setting forty years ago. Is one of Gloria's best friends in fact a deadly enemy? Has Gloria riled up her ex-husband? Or has the unquiet past claimed another victim? Lady Margaret goes fishing, and in the shark-infested waters of the New York social swim she lands herself a killer. . . .
