When the most successful female mystery writer of the day is found dead in the (fictional) exclusive Orczy Club, an "inner sanctum" for women mystery writers in London, the club members try to solve the case themselves—at the risk of their own lives, since obviously the murderer is one of them. Those present are the owner of the club, (a "big name" herself some years ago), two other writers, a critic, a journalist, a visitor from America who has just had her first mystery novel published, the cook, and a long-suffering secretary. Each of these women have an untold secret which causes suspicion to rise among them.
