Snobbery with Violence

The first book in M C Beaton's Edwardian Murder Mystery series. After a
brief dalliance with the Suffragette movement, Lady Rose Summers' debut
season in London society is a complete disaster. Rose's father suspects
that her fiancé, Sir Geoffrey Blandon, is a first class scoundrel and
calls in Captain Harry Cathcart to investigate. But when a malicious
guest is found dead in suspicious circumstances, Rose becomes far more
interested in discovering the truth than in landing a more appropriate
suitor.
