Mystery
Add a little romance to a little murder with shades of
P.D. James, Dorothy Sayers, and a hint of Bridget Jones,
and you get Cassandra Chan’s brilliant debut novel.
A CHARMING WIDOW WITH A TROUBLING HISTORY
As if by magic, Annette Berowne seems capable of dazzling
men from the moment she meets them. But when Annette
becomes the primary suspect in her husband’s poisoning
death, she arouses entirely different feelings. Now some
men feel sorry for her while others are convinced she’s
guilty.
PROVIDES TWO DETECTIVES WITH A MYSTERY OF SEDUCTION AND
MURDER.
Jack Gibbons is a by-the-book, rising star at Scotland
Yard. His friend Phillip Bethancourt is a smart, devil-may-
care type with a good heart and a razor-sharp sense of
people. When they reach the Berowne manor in Surrey, with
its colorful coterie of staff and family, Bethancourt is
strangely immune to Annette’s charms. As the two men delve
into the case, Gibbons is sure Annette is an innocent
damsel in distress. But Bethancourt is only certain of
this: his earnest friend is falling in love-with a woman
whose lovers keep finding ways to die.
