Flipping Rich bastards

The sanctimonious Baron of Tweedmouth is dead. The Baron’s cherubic son is the prime suspect. The sweet-tempered, effeminate Louis may well have cracked under the pressure of his harsh, shoot-from-the-crotch father. Lady Eleanor Albright has been the young man’s friend since childhood.

As an expert chemist (and purveyor of women’s creams), she convinces the barrister, Lord Henry Faraday, that she can help, that they both need to help, as the local chief constable is a late drinker and a late riser.

Only it’s not so simple. Lady Eleanor has left her, 'brothel-loving, girl-seducing, entitlement-inflated husband with whom she can't believe she ever had sex,’ and is—again— living with her Irish mother, Lady Adele Albright. With her daughter’s marital woes unacceptable, Lady Adele schemes to end Eleanor’s “problems” one of which is her daughter’s attachment to a man seven years her junior, a barrister named Lord Henry Faraday.

Eleanor must defy family, society, and in the end, even the man she loves to solve the crime.
