Synopsis

A fantastic tale of homicide, high treason, and horses, that begins and ends with a bang.

Lady Holme—a person, a place, an idyllic setting—the home of Lord and Lady Hazlett. It is also a nightmare haunt of dangerous secrets, both ancient and modern.

It's the autumn of 1920 in beautiful southern Hampshire, and the year is fading away. As leaves begin to fall over the landscape, one of the Hazlett party is mercilessly also made to fall, dropping like a leaf before its time. There's no doubt it's murder; it can be nothing else. Why, though? And where will this tragedy lead?

While Sophie and her resilient Secret Agents serve the family, they keep their eyes and ears open and learn much more than they ever expected. Much more.

The Burgoyne Agency is doing well when Sophie and others take on an assignment at an estate named Lady Holme. History of owner and house included in great detail. The murder mystery wasn't too difficult, but the other goings on added to an in depth story for Sophie's secret agency. The ending was lo......more
