This is the first full-length novel in which Fortune appears and it begins with him being invited to a ball at the home of Lady Rosnay. During the entertainment she falls,or is pushed down the stairs and loses her tiara. This begins a series of events which include not only the obligatory murders,but some seemingly random cruelty and mischief-making.
Fortune solves the case in the end,but not without sacrificing several innocent (or part innocent) people as he does so.
Certainly darker than other writers of the period,and not without interest. ( )
