London, 1920: Für die 19-jährige Louisa geht ein Traum in Erfüllung. Sie bekommt eine Anstellung bei den Mitfords, der glamourösen und skandalumwitterten Familie aus Oxfordshire. Endlich kann sie der Armut und dem Elend der Großstadt entfliehen und dafür auf ein herrschaftliches Anwesen ziehen. Louisa wird Anstandsdame und Vertraute der sechs Töchter des Hauses, allen voran der 17-jährigen Nancy, einer intelligenten jungen Frau, die nichts mehr liebt als Abenteuer und gute Geschichten. Als Florence Nightingale Shore, eine Krankenschwester und Freundin der Familie, am helllichten Tag ermordet wird, beginnen Nancy und Louisa eigene Ermittlungen anzustellen. Schnell erkennen sie, dass nach den Wirren des Krieges jeder etwas zu verbergen hat.

Work Description
It's 1920, and Louisa Cannon dreams of escaping her life of poverty in London. Louisa's salvation is a position within the Mitford household at Asthall Manor, in the Oxfordshire countryside. There she will become nursemaid, chaperone and confidante to the Mitford sisters, especially sixteen-year-old Nancy, an acerbic, bright young woman in love with stories. But then a nurse, Florence Nightingale Shore, goddaughter of her famous namesake, is killed on a train in broad daylight, and Louisa and Nancy find themselves entangled in the crimes of a murderer who will do anything to hide their secret.
