Society in England is most unforgiving of a reversal of fortune, as Miss Caroline Morton, left penniless after her fathers suspicious death, knows all too well. Once a lady, now a ladys companion, she is still enmeshed in the settling of the earls estate--and soon murder as well--in this charming cross between a Regency romance and a well-constructed detective story (Kirkus Reviews) for of Victoria Thompson, C.S. Harris, and Deanna Raybourn. nDistraught over her younger sister Susans decision to leave for America and weary of shepherding her employer Mrs. Frogertons daughter in her relentless pursuit of marrying a peer, Caroline is dealt another blow when her family solicitors indicate they may have found the lost heir to the Morton earldom. n nPossible heir Thomas, his mother Mrs. Scutton, and her widowed daughter, Mary, descend on Mrs. Frogertons home on Half Moon Street. The air inside the house is soon thick with family tension and avarice. But things go from tense to tragic following the appearance of Marys dead husband--very much alive and recently released from debtors prison. Unseen by Caroline and Mrs. Frogerton, a fight breaks out upstairs, leaving Mary fatally stabbed and her mother wounded. n nThe manhunt is on for Marys husband, led by Inspector Ross. But both Caroline and Mrs. Frogerton begin to suspect that all is not as it seems The Scuttons have brought more than trouble into the home--they may be harboring secrets that could put Caroline and Mrs. Frogertons very lives at risk . . .n
