About this ebook
In the sixth installment of the beloved Regency mystery series by Katharine Schellman, desperate parents turn to widow sleuth Lily Adler—but what she uncovers leaves them wishing they hadn’t.
Lily Adler has built a reputation for handling delicate matters discreetly. When the parents of a young woman who eloped with an unsuitable gentleman ask for her help, Lily is determined to prevent the rushed wedding from becoming a devastating scandal.
But her plans are shattered when she finds the bride dead only hours after saying her vows. Her death seems to be nothing more than a tragic accident. But when too many small details don’t add up, Lily begins to suspect that someone wanted the young woman gone.
Together with former navy captain Jack Hartley and his younger sister, Amelia, Lily brings the bride’s body home for burial. There, she discovers a family consumed by secrets, cruelties, and hidden resentments. But were any of them angry enough to kill?
No one wants to believe Lily’s claim that there is more to the bride’s death than meets the eye. But when Jack thwarts a mysterious attacker in the middle of the night, Lily knows there is a killer hiding among the grieving family. And if she cannot uncover who it is, someone she loves could be the next victim.
Perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn and Rhys Bowen, this follow-up mystery is full of tangled family intrigue and lies concealed by society manners.
