What better way for an angel to earn his celestial wings than by helping his former wife capture a killer?

Just another country house party - with a corpse! Poor Lady Adelaide seems to trip over bodies no matter where she goes. This time, it's the home of a friend - the hostess and the murder victim Lady Pamela Fernald. Looking to solve a murder and possibly stoke the fires of love, Addie knows who just to call - Detective Inspector Devenand Hunter of Scotland Yard.

Although Dev and Addie may not be able to rekindle a romance, they must work together to stop another murder. And thanks to Rupert, Addie's late - not to mention, unfaithful - husband, they may have the firepower to do so. Rupert needs to make amends for his louche life on earth, but will relying on an angel to help solve a murder blow up in their faces?
