Till death do us part may come sooner than they thought...1934. Kitty Underhay steps out of the battered Rolls Royce and onto the gravelled driveway of Thurscomb Castle in deepest Yorkshire. Shes honoured to be a bridesmaid at her cousin Lucys wedding to the reluctant Lord Rupert Woodcomb, but as family and friends gather for welcome drinks, Kitty dodges intrusive questions about her own marital status by taking a stroll about the castle grounds. As she passes through the manicured gardens, a fatal shot rings out...The valet, Evans, is dead. And Kitty cant help but notice how rattled the man standing next to him seems. Could Ruperts best man, The Right Honourable Alexander Sandy Galsworthy, believe the speeding bullet was meant for him?When she discovers that Sandy has been receiving blackmail notes, Kitty suspects that one of the assembled guests has plans to make good on their threats. The local constabulary wont act on Kittys hunch, so, busy with her bridesmaids duties, she asks her beau, ex-army captain Matthew Bryant, to help. The ceremony passes without a hitch. But when an anxious Sandy slips away during the dancing, Matt follows, only to make a hideous discovery: Sandy is dead, flattened on the terrace by some falling masonry.Now the duo are sure that there is a murderer within the castle walls.
