Unswervingly follow the gold standards of Christie and Conan Doyle - and at the same time boldly turn them inside out... Impossible? But no! A new nugget of a British detective masterfully proves the opposite. The combination of classic puzzling intrigue and stunning modern humor is Kinsey's element. Lady Emily Hardcastle is an eccentric widow with a mysterious past. And Florence Armstrong is her maid and also a martial artist. In 1908, they moved from London to the provinces in the hope of a quiet rural life. It was not to be: a young man was found hanged in the forest near their house. The police have taken a false lead, and the ladies begin their own investigation. Suddenly it turns out that they are simply excellent detectives. Plunging headlong into local gossip and squabbles, Emily and Florence discover a huge web of intrigue that extends far beyond the village. Everything is under suspicion, there is no certainty about anything, except for one thing - quiet rural life is going to hell...
