It is December 1884, and we have a murder to solve.
Come, my friend - follow me, for we have much to see this festive season.
First, a house: a brand-new country estate, with all the latest technological innovations - electric light-bulbs, running water, dumb-waiters, hydraulic lifts.
Second, a family: celebrated inventor Sir Russell Morgan, his grown-up children, his elegant new wife.
Next, their guests: the great and the good (well, the rich), dressed in all their finery, eager to celebrate Christmas at Clifftop House.
And finally: a body - for what festive mystery would be complete without one? Here lies one of the servants, laid out beneath the Christmas-tree, his hands covered in burns.
The police dismiss his death as an accident, but our heroine, Millie - kitchenmaid and keen reader of sensation novels - is not so sure.
Christmas Day is fast approaching. Can we solve the mystery of Clifftop House before another guest meets an untimely end?
