When famous actress Marina Gregg buys Gossington Hall, she wastes no time in introducing herself and her husband to their new neighbours by throwing a charity fête. Everyone is enjoying seeing around the beautiful house and gardens, until tragedy strikes – Heather Badcock has been poisoned. But who would want to kill Heather? And how, in the middle of a busy party, did they do it?
