KIRKUS REVIEW Judith Dunne, a dull little American illustrator, returns to her decadent cousin Cee Cee's carriage house near Hampton Court the year after C. has been brutally murdered in her next-door mansion. In no time at all, the murderer is after Judith, sending her threats in iambic pentameter. Is he Cee Cee's super-straight widower Steven Grenville? One of her onetime lovers, such as bureaucrat George Sherill or rock star Zack Reeve? Or handsome Kyle Hodge, who lives and works at Hampton Court?
