Mystery Historical
“A charismatic protagonist…setting a detective novel in
the [Georgian] age is a masterstroke.”—The Times
(London) Georgian England, 1761. A world of high fashion and even
higher spirits—but also of squalid back alleys and violent
quarrels, forbidding country roads and shadowy intrigues.
Filled with wit and warmth, the novels of Hannah March
capture this vibrant era in all its glory and mystery…
Traveling to the country home of his new employer, private
tutor Robert Fairfax arrives at a lonely stretch of road
that has become known as the haunt of a notorious
highwayman. But nothing can prepare him for the shocking
discovery of a stagecoach tipped into a ditch—and the dead
bodies within it.
Investigating at the behest of the local magistrate,
Fairfax quickly discerns that this is more than a simple
robbery…and that the victims are not who they appear to be.
One man identified as dead is, in fact, alive. And a woman
who was supposed to be on board is nevertheless missing.
Now Fairfax must piece together this baffling puzzle,
before a ruthless killer attempts to send him on his final
journey…
“March writes in an engaging, easy-to-read style and draws
the reader in from the very beginning.”—Charlotte
