What a hoot! Murder, alchemy, transvestism and Restoration England all in one. The Countess and her unlikely maid-companion Alpiew enter the world of the theater to solve a murder that has them adventuring through London with the bailiff always on their heels. Moreover an excellent mystery! For all the running about they do, you'd think the Countess would be more svelt! Is it just one too many dish of hot chocolate - or perhaps too much gingerbread? Join the fun and read on.
