Description: The Ellison household is the epitome of Victorian respectability. Their comfortable London home is cared for by effieciaent servants, while the Ellison daughters take tea with their friends or do good works for charity. Sheltered from the grim realities of the outside world, even the gruesome murder of a young girl of their acquaintance is not permitted to alter their privileged, stifling routine. Clearly the unfortunate girl must have kept bad company, and deserved her hideous fate.
But when the murderer strikes again and the ellisons' trusted maid is the mutilated victim, the facade begins to crack. Worse, they must submit to investigation by the police, headed by an untidy young man by the name of Inspector Pitt. He has no respect for their superior social standing; he asks the most indelicate questions. Yet the middle daughter, charlotte - never one to heed sensible advice - forms an unlikely alliance with Inspector Pitt.
