February 1913. Lady Hardcastle and her diminutive but brave lady’s maid, Flo, have been invited by their friend JB McIntyre to spend the weekend at his recently renovated Tudor fort on a remote island off the Devonshire coast. But the holiday quickly turns sinister when first a number of valuable jewels go missing—and then a fellow guest is murdered with a most unusual weapon.

Asked by JB to investigate, the stakes are raised for the sleuthing duo when a violent storm traps the group on the island and cuts them off from help. Is the murderer in their midst? With everyone claiming to have an alibi—but each also having a skeleton in their closet—can Lady Hardcastle and Flo unravel this complex web of secrets and deception before the killer strikes again?

Not as meaty and rich as the others. I also found myself missing Edna and Daisy. I didn’t feel like it show cased Flo’s and Emily’s skills enough. But l also loved to hear Flo enjoying her holiday and not being a Lady’s maid. As usual narrator was superb and she delivered.

Always good to hear from Flo and Emily

Whilst this was enjoyable, it was all a little.... well silly. Flo making silly mistakes or at least not being as subtle as she should be. And both Lady H and Flo taking things at face value and believing what they are told. And the plot was in the vein of Agatha Christie's "And then there were none", So it was entertaining but not as good as previous books.

Another terrific murder mystery with Lady Emily Hardcastle and Miss Florence Armstrong, as they head off for along weekend at a fort just off the coast. With a odd sort of guest list of friends and or work colleagues. As the owner Mr J. B. McIntyre wishes to see if the new guest house, resort works smoothly.
Read brilliantly by Elizabeth Knowelden.
