Troy is initially appalled by this commission and intends to turn it down. "Just think of the headlines. Murderess painting murderess. Soon I'll be painting nothing but acquitted murderesses," she gripes.
But then she meets Harriet and cannot resist the chance to paint that face. And then, uh, someone... I haven't figured out who yet... but someone gets murdered in the vicinity. And they have to provide each other alibis, BUT THEN someone in the press decides that perhaps they have Teamed Up to do murder together, which means they have to figure out who really did it...
ETA: Although it might be too much to have poor Harriet suspected for yet another murder. So maybe they aren't suspects at all? They get drawn into investigating because the victim is...a school friend of Harriet's perhaps... or something.
Also I'm not sure where Peter and Alleyn are all this time. On the continent for the Foreign Office and in New Zealand investigating a case, respectively? I feel that Peter Wimsey in particular is simply beyond the reach of my pen.
