In December 1909, Reverend Josiah Peter Martins died face down in a bowl of mutton with onions, leaving his family on the brink of ruin. Eighteen-year-old Ephimia Martins is forced to provide for her mother and little brother on her own and takes a job at Stapleford Hall estate. But on her very first day in the ill-fated home of Lord Stapleford, she discovers the body of a murdered man!
Her innate sense of justice and an almost indecent level of intelligence for a young woman compel Ephimia to take on the investigation of the murder herself, and dark secrets of the Stapleford family begin to unravel before her. Meanwhile, she is proposed to, locked in closets, forced to cut mountains of onions, accused of murder, and threatened with death! All she can do is defend herself to the end using her sharp wit, sense of humor, and the main weapon of all proper young ladies - a piercing scream.
