Summary
Summary
Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award
The shocking murder of Sir Henry Claybourne leaves Regency London shaken and horror-struck. But for genteel spinster Miss Emmeline St. Germaine, the crime slices far too close to home. Just hours before the knight's death she held a dagger to him, threatening him to stay silent as she rescued a scullery maid he had procured for his pleasure.
Did the man—or woman—who murdered the knight know of her visit? Her secret identity at risk, her reputation and life in jeopardy, Emmeline must solve the crime or face scandalous exposure and ruination, or worse—the hangman's noose—for a crime she did not commit.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A simply riveting and compulsive page-turner of a read from cover to cover. A deftly scripted mystery with more twists and turns than a Coney Island roller coaster.” —Midwest Book Review
“Heather Wilds delivers an intense narration that never slows down…Wilds deftly navigates the unique voices and accents of people from many regions of England and stations in society…The story is gripping, and with Wilds’s performance, the audiobook becomes all the more exciting. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
“Emmeline chafes at the conventions that prevent women from speaking their minds and controlling their lives…She is an unconventionally principled and highly unusual character, and the story is seamlessly framed by details about the life and social mores of Regency London, from the streets to the drawing rooms.z’ —Booklist
[An] outstanding series launch . . . Hamilton expertly balances the page-turning detection with the story of a hypocritical society where women, whether they are scullery maids or orphans, rarely get to make their own decisions. —Publishers Weekly Starred Review
