Title : The Stranger at Queen's Gate - Anne Beddingfeld - Book

Summary :

Christmas is approaching in 1899 when Elisabeth Huntly, a resourceful and creative kitchen maid, replaces the cook of the aristocratic Hewes family, who has just suffered a fall. Christmas Pudding, vanilla dessert, Stilton consommé: the list of ingredients does not include any murder. And yet, discreetly out to smoke her cigar in the garden, Beth discovers the body of a woman stabbed with a Malay kriss belonging to Lord Hewes. Very quickly, suspicion falls on the Indian valet in Lord Hewes's service. After all, wasn't he the one who provided the murder weapon? But Beth doesn't believe Rajiv's guilt - whom she knows particularly well since she regularly shares the cramped confines of her servant's room with him... The strong-willed young woman is determined to discover who committed this murder.
