London, August 1925.
After an unpredictable event that turned her life upside down, just over twenty years old, young Beatrice Bernabò, aka Miss Bee, finds herself in an entirely new situation. A new life is opening up before her eyes… Or at least it should be. Because even though Miss Bee tries to stay out of trouble, trouble always seems to find her. This time, it comes in the form of an unexpected invitation to Norfolk, to the historic estate of an old friend of Inspector Archer Blackburn.

And so, shortly after what was supposed to be a pleasant stay in a wonderful noble residence surrounded by a fairy-tale garden begins, Miss Bee finds herself entangled in a mystery involving someone from her past, a familiar figure who quickly takes on even darker contours than usual, just like her own troubled present, not to mention the uncertainty of her future…
To further complicate things, there’s someone who played a significant role in Beatrice’s turbulent romantic past: His Lordship Julian Lennox, Viscount of Warthmore.
Will Beatrice be able to set aside her emotions and uncover the truth?

This time more than ever, Miss Bee will have to draw on all her wit and inner strength to unravel the mysteries of her world, and especially those of her heart.
