Twiggy Voo?

December 1913. Since Great Britain's defeat at Waterloo, the island nation has existed as an 'arrondissemont' of France. Dowager Empress Eugénie the mother of Emperor Louis-Napoléon, is hosting a country party at her Hampshire home, Farnborough Hill House. Invitations to her Christmas gatherings are coveted and this particular occasion consists of a mixture of aristocracy, businessmen and music hall artistes including the infamous Paulette.

Winston Churchill, purveyor of fine meats, and part of Britain's underground resistance is also invited. His remit is to keep the errant Prince Eddie in check and shed some light on Paulette's involvement in the scandal swirling around the murder of his friend, singer Harry Fragson. However, when the Empress decides to stage her own 'murder mystery' as part of the festivities, a real body in the library appears. Immediately, Paulette is suspected.

As snow sets in and isolates the house and its inhabitants, can Winston save her bacon and escape a roasting from both the Emperor and the nominal King, George V?
