When you're a penny-pinching skinflint, you need to watch every penny… or watch your back.

Lord Earnest Grabbit is not a man without enemies. His notorious reputation as a penny-pinching skinflint, watching every halfpenny that leaves his wallet knows no bounds and affects all those around him - from Daphne, the daughter who wishes a new dress for the ball, to Cook - who has numerous bills to pay. With more than a few skeletons in the kitchen cupboards to unearth, the scene is set for an evening of intrigue, blackmail… and eventually, murder.
