Peter Lovesey's blurb
In 1890 twelve guests gather at Desborough Hall for a week.s shooting party
hosted by the beautiful Lady Amelia Hammond. Months of planning have left
nothing to chance, for the main guests are the Prince and Princess of Wales.



Events take a sinister turn when the vivacious Queenie Chimes collapses face
down in the chef.s lovingly created bombe-glacee. More deaths follow and clues
planted on the bodies point shockingly to a final tally of seven, one for each day
of the week. Bertie is impelled to investigate.
