But when his lifelong friend Lady Jane asks for his help, Lenox cannot resist the chance to unravel a mystery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrudence Smith, one of Jane's former servants, is dead of an apparent suicide. But Lenox suspects something far more sinister: murder, by a rare and deadly poison. The grand house where the girl worked is full of suspects, and though Prue had dabbled with the hearts of more than a few men, Lenox is baffled by the motive for the girl's death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen another body turns up during the London season's most fashionable ball, Lenox must untangle a web of loyalties and animosities. Was it jealousy that killed Prudence Smith? Or was it something else entirely? And can Lenox find the answer before the killer strikes again--this time, disturbingly close to home?\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Minotaur","offers":[{"title":"Beautiful Blue Death: The First Charles Lenox Mystery | Charles Finch | Paperback | 9780312386078 | Used: Very Good | Mystery 1700226","offer_id":50828123472130,"sku":"1700226","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81nylqMZU1L.jpg?v=1792581135","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/beautiful-blue-death-the-first-charles-lenox-mystery","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
