Summary

Alice Beeton never meant to wind up single and childless on the wrong side of fifty. Like her distant relative Mrs Beeton, she had hoped to have her own spic-and-span household by now. In reality, she lives in an immaculate basement flat in a shabby block in Kensington with Agatha, her fiercely intelligent corgi-Jack Russell cross. Now Alice runs the Good Household Management Agency, providing discreet domestic staff to extravagant townhouses and sprawling country piles. So when Camille Messant calls in urgent need of a new housekeeper, Miss Beeton sends out new hire Enya. But in the early hours of New Year's Day, Alice is rudely awakened with the news that Enya has been found dead. As the intriguing Detective Rigby struggles to drum up an adequate investigation and the wealthy family and their party guests close rank, Miss Beeton takes it upon herself to solve the crime.
