Description

As Christmas approaches in Victorian London, Thomas and Charlotte Pitt’s former maid takes a new position at the grand Rutland Place, where the polished household conceals tensions beneath its respectable surface. When a seemingly insignificant trinket goes missing, its disappearance unsettles a web of relationships and exposes secrets that reach far beyond the home. As suspicion spreads and danger threatens the household, the investigation reveals the sharp divisions of class, privilege, and power shaping society. Atmospheric and intricately plotted, this historical mystery combines domestic intrigue with a compelling exploration of how one small accident can have far-reaching consequences.
