About This Book
THE CURTAIN CAME DOWN ON MURDER
Aunt Emma Kelling didn't have an enemy in the world. But she did have "Ernestina"-- an invaluable old portrait inherited with Pleasaunce, her New England mansion--and a passion for producing Gilbert & Sullivan.
Sarah Kelling Bittersohn, amateur sleuth and Boston Brahmin, was on the scene when "Ernestina" disappeared and Charlie Daventer, the "plain old man" in this season's The Sorcerer, met with a fatal accident. A ransom note, an escape from a locked potting shed and, most perilous of all, lunch with Cousin Mabel convinced Sarah that Charlie's demise was deliberate. Something was indeed rotten in Pleasaunce...and Sarah was soon once again on the scent of murder most foul.
