Julia Stuart dividends in her follow-up to the best-selling The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise with this brilliant murder mystery set in Victorian England, filled with her signature attraction and fabulous heroes. When Indian Princess Alexandrina is left penniless by the immediate death of her dad, the Maharaja of Brindor, Queen Victoria grants or loans her a grace-and-favor home in Hampton Court Palace. Though rumored to be haunted, Alexandrina and her lady's maid, Pooki, haven't any choice but to take the Queen through to her offer. Apart from the ghost sightings, Hampton Court doesn't seem so bad. The princess is soon befriended by three eccentric widows who ask her to a picnic with all the current palace's inhabitants, that Pooki bakes a pigeon pie. But when General-Major Bagshot dies after eating said pie, and the coroner detects traces of arsenic in his body, Pooki becomes the number-one suspect in a murder exploration. Princess Alexandrina isn't going to let her faithful servant hang. She begins a study of her own, and discovers that Hampton Court isn't such a safe spot to live in the end. With her trademark wit and attraction, Julia Stuart presents us to an outstanding solid of lovable oddballs, from the palace maze-keeper to the unconventional Girl Beatrice (who loves to decorate as a toucan - don't ask), as she courses us through the many wonderful twists and turns in this fun and quirky murder unknown. Everyone is covering a solution of the heart and soul, and even Alexandrina may not realize when she's found in a maze of love.
