This is Ms. Maxwell's second book in a series about a lady and her maid set in England after the Great War. I'm happy to say that I like this as much as the first one. This time period fascinates me. Delightful Lady Phoebe is the middle of the 3 sisters and is 20 years old. She and her lady's maid, Jane, jump into solving the murder that takes place right in front of them. They are at the school that they both went to (Jane on a scholarship.) The Head Mistress eats some cake at a charity function and drops dead. But who would want to kill Miss Finch? It turns out there are many dark secrets at the school. The characters are well defined and continue to grow. The plot is challenging and makes many devious twists and turns. There is even a little romance involved for Phoebe and Jane. I'm looking forward to the next book!
