  The Unaccomplished Lady Eleanor follows the exploits of Eleanor Myers - a young lady whose contented life in the country is thrown into turmoil when her new stepmother decides it is time she acquired all the accomplishments deemed necessary to find a husband.Reluctantly despatched to her formidable godmother in London, Eleanor finds herself not only having to cope with the unrelenting learning of tedious skills but also with the irritating behaviour of two additional houseguests and her godmother's handsome, but arrogant nephew, James.Eleanor's annoyance soon turns to suspicion however when, during her hectic whirl of social engagements, a potentially fatal series of incidents befall both her and James. Can a bitter legal dispute over James's inheritance, a thwarted blackmail attempt and a wronged husband all be the accidents they seem? And if not, then who on earth is trying to kill whom?
