MAIDS OF
MISFORTUNE
It's the summer of 1879, and
Annie Fuller, a young San Francisco widow, is in trouble.
Annie's husband squandered her fortune before committing
suicide five years earlier, and one of his creditors is now
threatening to take the boardinghouse she owns to pay off a
debt.
Annie Fuller also has a secret. She supplements her income
by giving domestic and business advice as Madam Sibyl, one
of San Francisco's most exclusive clairvoyants, and one of
Madam Sibyl's clients, Matthew Voss, has died. The police
believe his death was suicide brought upon by bankruptcy,
but Annie believes Voss has been murdered and that his
assets have been stolen.
Nate Dawson has a problem. As the Voss family lawyer, he
would love to believe that Matthew Voss didn't leave his
grieving family destitute. But that would mean working with
Annie Fuller, a woman who alternatively attracts and
infuriates him as she shatters every notion he ever had of
proper ladylike behavior.
Sparks fly as Anne and Nate pursue the truth about the
murder of Matthew Voss in this light-hearted, cozy
historical mystery set in the foggy gas-lit world of
Victorian San Francisco.
