Mystery Historical
“A charismatic protagonist…setting a detective novel in
the [Georgian] age is a masterstroke.”—The
Times
(London)
Georgian England, 1760s. A world of high fashion and even
higher spirits—but also of violent quarrels and shadowy
intrigues, reckless duels and notorious scandals. The
witty
novels of Hannah March capture this vibrant era in all its
glory…and mystery.
Hired to tutor the young children of wealthy and ambitious
sugar merchant Samuel Appleton, Robert Fairfax soon finds
that his employer has other work for him. Appleton’s
daughter, a beauty named Charlotte, has made a very good
marriage to the thoroughly aristocratic Lord Mortlock—yet
all is not well with the match.
Asked to investigate, Fairfax discovers evidence of
gambling debts, love affairs—and explosive secrets. But
suspicion turns to shock when Lord Mortlock is found
murdered in his bed with his wife holding court in the
next
room. Now Fairfax must get to the heart of this elegant
facade of lies—in order to unmask a killer.…
“March writes in an engaging, easy-to-read style and draws
the reader in from the very beginning.”—Charlotte
