There wouldn't be any trouble if only you had a wife. ' Lady Boynton had said. To mild-mannered Gervaise this was a new idea and the longer he thought about it, the more delightful it seemed...But Flavia Cameron was not what Lady Boynton had in mind. Impossibly young, with a musical talent that could have been heard in concert halls around the world, the headmaster's new wife was beautiful and sparkling and she swept the Upper Fourth off their feet. Until Ben Forbes arrived, with a father whose dark wounded eyes unleashed a reaction in Flavia that she didn't know existed, throwing her life and everybody elses into turmoil.
