Mystery Historical
Beau Brummell arrived punctually at the estate of
Frederica, the Duchess of York, as her special guest for
her birthday celebration. Unfortunately, his valet — and
his valises full of proper attire — have gone missing,
leaving the arbiter of fashion out of fashion for his
first night as Freddie's guest. When Beau's valet does
appear, he reveals the shocking news that he was set upon
by highwaymen, who stole most of his master's luggage —
including an indiscreet letter that Freddie wrote to Beau,
which could embroil them both in scandal.
Once Freddie's other guests arrive, Beau puts his
worries aside and turns his attention to ensuring her
birthday remains pleasant. Not an easy task, considering
one of the party is the horrid Lord Kendrick — whose
notorious reputation rings true when he behaves badly with
several women. When he's found dead with one of Freddie's
hair ornaments lodged in his throat, Beau is hardly
surprised. But he cannot stand by and allow her to be
accused of the crime — even if she is angry with him for
keeping her letter and allowing it to fall into the wrong
hands. Devastated that he has wronged the woman he adores,
Beau must collect himself to find the true killer, and
retrieve the letter that is now being used to blackmail
Freddie . . .
