Mystery
The inquisitive Miss Dido Kent returns in A Place of
Confinement to elucidate the mysterious disappearance of a
young woman in the fourth installment of Anna Dean’s
charming Regency era series The dependably sharp Miss Dido Kent is suffering her sister-
in-law’s attempts to marry her off to the ghastly clergyman
Doctor Prowdlee. Dido, however, is determined to refuse him,
as well as his abominable side whiskers. As punishment she
is sent to accompany her hypochondriac—and quite wealthy—
Aunt Manners on a trip to Charcombe Manor. The family hopes
that revisiting her childhood home will keep Aunt Manners in
good spirits, and Dido in her good graces. However, upon their arrival it’s clear to Dido that there is
much more at stake than her aunt’s favor. The rich heiress
Letitia Verney has disappeared while visiting Charcombe, and
Mr. Tom Lomax is suspected of abducting her. Dido is
inclined to believe in his innocence, but how is she to
explain by what method a young lady could enter through the
front door and not appear on the other side? And this isn’t
the only enigma that the Elizabethan manor holds: there is a
deserted wing in which lights mysteriously appear at night,
a crying ghost which keeps visitors awake, and memories of
old family quarrels. When the senior Mr. Lomax comes to town to defend his son,
the mystery intensifies—and so does Dido’s romantic life.
With lives and reputations on the line, it’s up to Dido to
put the pieces together to save the Lomaxes and find the
vanished young Miss Verney. In this captivating fourth
installment of the Dido Kent series, readers will find more
of the rich characters, meticulous historical detail, and
masterful suspense they’ve come to expect from Anna Dean.
