"Pure unadulterated fun" (Publishers Weekly) for fans of Ashley Weaver,
Deanna Raybourn, and Tasha Alexander, the Agatha Award–winning Countess
of Harleigh Mysteries are a witty romp through the high society of Victorian
England with a touch of romance, an independent female lead, and rich
historical detail. In this charming historical mystery, Frances Wynn, the
American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her wedding day overshadowed by
murder ...
On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on
her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the
Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in
London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the
request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor,
Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances's
mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the nuptials may end up
being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons.
On the day itself, Frances is relieved that Madeline's father is not among the
guests at the church. The reason, however, is most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is
found murdered in his home. More shocking still, Alonzo is caught at the scene—
holding the murder weapon.
Powerful and ruthless, Connor appears to have amassed a wealth of enemies.
Frances and George put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo's name.
But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the feuding families, but also in
their own. With a killer determined to evade discovery—even if it means taking
another life—Frances's newlywed days will be perilous indeed ...
