Having now settled her differences with her romantic interest, James Kensington, Miss Victoria Parker is ready to embark on the next stage of their life, which includes the young boy left in her care, Percy. That notion comes to a sudden halt when James’s aunt arrives – and introduces her plans for their future.
To make matters worse, an unwanted guest from the past appears on Vicky’s doorstep…
Baron William Gerard, a fellow former guest at the home of the Duke of Everton, and a man Vicky finds nettling, arrives with a request. Find the murderer of his spinster sister Mary Margaret, and he will see that Percy is admitted to one of the finest schools in England.
Agreeing to the terms, Vicky embarks on a murder inquest that is not as simple as it first appears. It seems the suspects are all spies with one goal in common – to learn the location of a vast treasure only Mary Margaret knew.
With whispers of romance, lies, and alibis sweeter than wine, Vicky must navigate through the greed to unravel this ‘whodunit’. And as James’s aunt crosses the final line, Vicky prays that James will finally have the courage to push back…
A cozy, romantic Regency murder mystery that will keep you guessing til the end.
