The sudden, unexpected death of Sir Edward Gray causes his widow, Lady Julia to suspect murder. She enlists the aide of Nicholas Brisbane and presses forward, following a trail of clues. In the process, she learns many unpleasant truths about Edward, Nicholas, and her herself.
I am very glad that I read this book. The tension increased as Julia followed more clues and they all lead to a natural conclusion. I did suspect the right person as the killer; it was the why, that kept me interested in the story.
