AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'At discreet Deepdene, the guests are ready to test for themselves the makeover mansion's claim that every woman can - with expensive encouragement - realise her full beauty. Among those guests is Verity Birdwood who, like her surroundings, is not all that she seems. But even sharp, resourceful Birdie does not suspect that within Deepdene's silk-lined walls is an enemy with murder in mind.' (Source: back cover, 1992 paperback edition)
