A medieval house, a dead body and some rather suspicious chocolate fudge? Call for Lady Swift! Autumn, 1920. Lady Eleanor Swift, accidental amateur detective and retired explorer, is determined to take a break from investigating murders.

But when she arrives home to discover that Mrs Pitkin, the kindly cook from Farrington Manor, has been dismissed without wage or reference because the police consider her a suspect, Eleanor knows she needs to act. If there was a murder, then she needs to track down the culprit and clear Mrs Pitkin's name.Accompanied by her faithful partner in crime, Gladstone the bulldog, who has the best nose for sniffing out bones in the country, Eleanor sets out to find the killer. And when another body turns up and she finds poisoned fudge in the victim's house, Eleanor knows she's on the right track.

You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didnâ¿t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmlessâ¿so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdieâ¿s wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father. I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldnâ¿t help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally. Like when I showed up on their doorstep.
