Entertaining Death

When the recently widowed Lady Amelia Washington comes to the seaside town of Nethergate's Alexandria theatre, its proprietor Dorinda has her suspicions that this is more than just a passing visit. 

Dorinda's old friend Lady Ivy has suggested to Amelia that Nethergate's quiet seaside setting would make the perfect retreat from the pressures of life in society - and with both ladies having a background in the music halls, Dorinda's concert party, The Alexandrians, seems like the perfect place to blend in and get away from it all.

It seems like a reasonable story - but in that case, why are the police so interested in speaking to Lady Amelia - and what secret is she trying to hide hide?
