520 . ‡a"Hippolyta Halfpenny and her family of professional mourners find themselves trapped at a reclusive lord's funeral after the undertaker is murdered. As suspicions rise, Hippolyta must conceal her family's true identities, unravel secrets behind the murder, and unmask the truth before the final curtain falls"-- ‡cProvided by publisher.
520 . ‡a"It is 1957, and Hippolyta Halfpenny and her family have mastered the business of bereavement. As professional mourners, they are so accomplished that even Lord Basil Monfort, the famous and wealthy recluse, engages the family's services for his own funeral. Tired of disguises and aliases, Hippolyta vows it will be her last performance. Then she discovers the undertaker's body during the wake and finds herself cast as an amateur sleuth in an increasingly unpredictable investigation. Soon rain washes away the roads, trapping the funeral party at Lord Monfort's estate--with an unidentified killer in their midst. Bound by her father's wishes to maintain their charade, Hippolyta navigates a web of secrets spanning decades. But sorting truth from deception proves even more difficult when Lord Montfort's charming yet perceptive heir suspects Hippolyta is not all she appears to be. Concealing her family's true identities while unraveling secrets might be a role Hippolyta is hesitant to play, but with a murderer among them, she must unmask the truth before the final curtain falls"-- ‡cBack cover.
