In Dianne Freeman’s charming Victorian-era mystery series, Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her sister’s wedding threatened by a vow of vengeance. London is known for its bustle and intrigues, but the sedate English countryside can host—or hide—any number of secrets. Frances, the widowed Countess of Harleigh, needs a venue for her sister Lily’s imminent wedding, away … from prying eyes. Risings, George Hazleton’s family estate in Hampshire, is a perfect choice, and soon Frances, her beloved George, and other guests have gathered to enjoy the usual country pursuits—shooting, horse riding, and romantic interludes in secluded gardens. But…
As most of Victorian London’s high society retires to the country, American-born Frances Wynn, the widowed Countess Harleigh, stays behind — but peace and quiet continue to elude her! Can Frances solve her friend’s murder? “Witty… Historical mystery fans will be delighted” (Publishers Weekly).
In this sparkling mystery, wealthy American widow Frances Wynn arrives in Victorian London — but soon becomes a suspect in her late husband’s murder. “A delightful tale of shenanigans among the British aristocracy” (New York Times bestselling author Rhys Bowen).
