Publisher Description
September 1816-The bizarre murder of one of Queen Charlotte's ladies-in-waiting rocks English society and pulls Kendra Donovan into her most dangerous mystery yet.
Kendra Donovan has finally made it to the altar with Alec, the Marquis of Sutcliffe. Unfortunately, their plans for a honeymoon must be put on hold when the broken body of Lady Westford is found in a London theater. Lady Westford isn't just a wealthy aristocrat-she's one of the queen's ladies-in-waiting. The official verdict is an accident, but whispers have already begun that it was suicide. Queen Charlotte refuses to believe either scenario and wants Kendra to use her unique investigative skills to uncover the truth.
There's still a lot the FBI-agent-turned-time traveler has to learn about life in the early nineteenth century, but even Kendra realizes that you don't say no to royalty.
It's a simple matter for Kendra to conclude that Lady Westford was murdered. The aristocrat's life, on the other hand, is far more complicated, beginning with an estranged husband who has another family tucked away.
The husband is always the No. 1 suspect, but the case veers in a strange, new direction when Kendra learns that Lady Westford had visited Dr. Munroe's morgue a few days prior to her murder to view the body of a young woman pulled from the Thames. And that body had been drained of all her blood.
What connects Lady Westford and the exsanguinated body? Determined to find answers, the former FBI agent must venture down a dark and twisty trail, where she is reminded that the path to hell is often paved with good intentions.
Customer Reviews
Love this Series
I have been eagerly (trying to be patient) waiting for this book.
Kendra, even though she is out of her own time, is believable. The characters have now had time to mesh and are committed to each other.
Kendra’s relationship with her now husband has developed and despite the usual business style arrangements of the time they actually are in love. At the same time they respect each other’s individuality and are managing their way with love and genuine respect in their marriage.
Meanwhile, The Duke (love his character) remains a constant in their lives.
Definitely looking forward to the next instalment.
Thank you so much for bringing Kendra to life.
