A Murderer in the family?

That is the terrifying prospect facing Rose Faro McQuinn, Victorian Lady Detective when archaeologists dig up the preserved corpse of the Maid of Norway, a 13th century princess to find that the body is of a local woman, a member of Rose's family, presumed drowned but brutally murdered and thrown into the peat bog.
