Description
Regency widow Lily Adler's quiet life in London is disrupted when her semi-estranged father arrives unexpectedly. As she spends time with Lady Wyatt, the new wife of an old family friend, she becomes embroiled in a mystery when Sir Charles, Lady Wyatt's husband, is found dead. The initial appearance suggests a tragic accident, but Bow Street constable Simon Page suspects foul play. With the help of Captain Jack Hartley, Lily uncovers evidence that points to murder. As they investigate, they discover that each member of the family seems to have an alibi - until a mysterious summons leads them to another victim. Lily must convince her disapproving father to help her catch Sir Charles's killer before anyone else in the Wyatt household dies. With the truth hidden behind a web of secrets and lies, Lily's amateur sleuth skills are put to the test as she navigates the complex world of London's upper class.
