Julia Stuart returns in her follow-up to the bestselling The Tower, the Zoo and the Tortoise with this clever murder mystery set in Victorian England, brimming with her signature charm and fabulous characters. When Indian Princess Alexandrina is left penniless by the sudden death of her father, the Maharaja of Brindor, Queen Victoria grants her a grace-and-favor home in Hampton Court Palace. Though rumored to be haunted, Alexandrina and her lady's maid, Pooki, have no choice but to take the Queen up on her offer. Aside from the ghost sightings, Hampton Court doesn't seem so bad. The princess is soon befriended by three eccentric widows who invite her to a picnic with all the palace's inhabitants, for which Pooki bakes a pigeon pie. But when General-Major Bagshot dies after eating said pie, and the coroner finds traces of arsenic in his body, Pooki becomes the #1 suspect in a murder investigation. Princess Alexandrina isn't about to let her faithful servant hang. She begins an investigation of her own, and discovers that Hampton Court isn't such a safe place to live after all. With her trademark wit and charm, Julia Stuart introduces us to an outstanding cast of lovable oddballs, from the palace maze-keeper to the unconventional Lady Beatrice (who likes to dress up as a toucan—don't ask), as she guides us through the many delightful twists and turns in this fun and quirky murder mystery. Everyone is hiding a secret of the heart, and even Alexandrina may not realize when she's caught in a maze of love.

Pigeon Pie And Other Tasty Tales is as varied as it is thought provoking; with no real theme except that each has a slightly twisted tail. The book contains supernatural stories such as Elize, which is a tale of lost love set in Cornwall. The Feast of Bessie Brandon is a modern tale about the burning of witches while The Bogeyman is a dark, gory tale of Halloween. Equally as dark is the psychological vampire story Bloodline. Maybe even darker, The New Year's Resolution and The Birthday look at the difficult subject of suicide while The Night The Music Died might also be about death but it is also about resurrection. The Return of Anna Pavlova is a sad little tale of shattered dreams; in contrast Cross Line is a lighter, more amusing story about telephone phobia. The Mummy Angel is a Christmas story that is both sad and happy at the same time while The Vision which is set in South Africa is about hope for the future. The Grotto and The Windsorton Diamond Mystery are both traditional detective stories but who says the suspects and the culprits have to be human? And so to Pigeon Pie itself, after which this volume of stories is named. The confined space of a high rise flat create marital conflicts between an elderly couple which culminates in a strangely cruel vengeance. Like The Talking Goose, which is about intrigue in a medieval European royal court; it can best be described as a bizarre tale, lightly spiced with humour! Enjoy all these tasty tales, but take them with a pinch of salt!

Set at the outbreak of World War II, Lady Sophia Garfield dreams of becoming a beautiful spy but manages not to notice a nest of German agents right under her nose. Until the murder of her maid and the kidnapping of her beloved bulldog force them on her attention, with heroic and absurd results. One of Mitford's earliest novels and written before Christmas 1939, Pigeon Pie is delivered with a touch lighter than that of her later masterpieces but no less entertaining. This comedy combines glamour, wit, and a fiendishly absurd plot into an irresistible literary confection. 'This sparking and deliciously acid commentary of the social world.' - The Scotsman

With her maid murdered and her beloved bulldog held hostage, she sets out alone to gain proof and, with time out for tea at the Ritz, save Britain.
