  It is winter in the Cotswolds and a suspicious death has occurred. Psychic medium ‘Madame Zelda’ is found dead on Christmas morning, an open box of chocolates by her side. DCI Hayley Pascal and her new oppo, DS Artie Frobisher, have little to occupy themselves over the dead time that is Christmas at Oxford Police Station, until the chocolates are found to contain a poisonous substance. Cold cases can wait. They now have a new case to solve: one of MURDER.  
  There are no shortage of suspects: the victim’s feckless husband Charlie, her simple-minded son Luke and Grant Vaughan, the man she has cut out of his mother’s will. Added to these complications, Hayley Pascal is missing her daughter, who lives with her ex-husband in Paris and who has promised to visit her at New Year, but doesn’t. Here is a straightforward murder mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie, but it is also a story of ordinary people driven to drastic measures through loneliness, misery and the need for revenge.

The story revolves around Plantagenet Palliser, the Duke of Omnium, who becomes Prime Minister of a fragile coalition government formed when neither the Whigs nor the Tories can govern alone.Initially hesitant about his leadership abilities, Palliser gradually finds confidence in his role. However, he faces significant challenges due to the internal divisions within his government and his own rigid nature, which complicates his efforts to enact meaningful policies. 
  A central subplot involves Ferdinand Lopez, a socially ambitious man of ambiguous background who marries Emily Wharton against her father's wishes. Lopez's charm initially captivates Emily, but she soon discovers his many flaws. After a failed attempt to secure a parliamentary seat—encouraged by Lady Glencora Palliser, who hosts lavish gatherings to boost her husband's political standing—Lopez's fortunes decline. He becomes embroiled in a scandal involving election expenses that leads to public outrage and personal tragedy.
