While traveling, she encounters a young lady in need of aid, so she does what she does best and helps a person in distress, even though as usual, it puts her at odds with people and ruffles some feathers all at the same time.

When she arrives at the charming town of Vouvant, she can see how the Winter Revels are welcomed by the establishments where they sell their wares to the tourists and holiday maker with abandon, but she runs into the same young lady and comes to the rescue again, however, the outcome is more positive for her, than the last one. After the first welcome meal and the opportunity to meet the chefs and sample some of the upcoming victuals, she runs into the Duke de Archambeaux, as well as spotting someone she may need to help during her time there, a grieving widow and her son, so tired and satisfied, she goes to bed, however, she is woken in the middle of the night by the Duke in need of her and her friends help, much to their chagrin.

Will Elinor be able to solve the crime while also helping out the young lady and the widow all at the same time, or will it all become too overwhelming for her to cope with? This is another fast paced mystery where spirits and food combine with delicious, yet dangerous consequences, all while romance slowly kindles between Elinor and the Duke.
