Mystery Historical
Mrs. Laetitia Rodd, aged fifty-two, is the widow of an
archdeacon. Living in Hampstead with her confidante and
landlady, Mrs. Bentley, who once let rooms to John Keats,
Laetitia makes her living as a highly discreet private
investigator. Her brother, Frederick Tyson, is a criminal barrister living
in the neighboring village of Highgate with his wife and ten
children. Frederick finds the cases, and Laetitia solves
them using her arch intelligence, her iron discretion, and
her immaculate cover as an unsuspecting widow. When
Frederick brings to her attention a case involving the son
of the well-respected, highly connected Sir James
Calderstone, Laetitia sets off for Lincolnshire to take up a
position as the family's new governess--quickly making
herself indispensable.But the seemingly simple case--looking
into young Charles Calderstone's "inappropriate†? love
interest--soon takes a rather unpleasant turn. And as the
family's secrets begin to unfold, Laetitia discovers the
Calderstones have more to hide than most. Dickensian in its scope and characters, The Secrets of
Wishtide brings nineteenth century society vividly to
life and illuminates the effect of Victorian morality on
women's lives. Introducing an irresistible new detective,
the first book in the Laetitia Rodd Mystery series will
enthrall and delight.
