A beautiful blue death

Summary: "Equal parts Sherlock Holmes, Gosford Park, and P. G. Wodehouse, this Victorian debut introduces an appealing detective and his friend, the lovely Lady Jane." "On most days during London's long winter, Charles Lenox, a Victorian gentleman and armchair reporter, likes to relax in his private library with a cup of tea, a roaring fire, and a good book. But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox finds himself in the heart of another mystery - one more complicated and layered than any he's ever faced." "One of Jane's former servants, Prudence Smith, is dead, an apparent suicide. But Lenox immediately suspects something more sinister: murder by a rare and deadly poison. The patrician house where the girl worked and lived is full of suspects, and while Prudence played with more than a few hearts, even Lenox is baffled by the elusive motive behind her death.".
