The story revolves around Madame Coralie, a mysterious beautician running a discreet and exclusive shop that promises to rejuvenate tired and aging women, entangling society's elite in its secrets. The narrative begins with hints of intrigue and deception surrounding her clientele, particularly focusing on the character of Lady Branwin, who seeks to reclaim her youth through Madame Coralie’s treatments. The opening of the novel introduces Madame Coralie’s enchanting yet secretive establishment, setting up an atmosphere laden with mystique. Lady Branwin, a client who hopes to regain her youthful beauty, is depicted with a mix of apprehension and desperation, revealing her complex relationship with her dismissive husband and her daughter, Audrey. As the story unfolds, complications arise with the emergence of a murder linked to the shop, raising questions about the intertwining lives of its patrons and the dark undercurrents of the beauty industry.
