Lady Antonia discovers a body at the opening of the Great Exhibition, in the presence of Queen Victoria, no less. The newly married Lord and Lady Danvers put all such unpleasantness behind them, though, as they sail off in his aerostat for a secluded honeymoon in Scotland. Until the shades of grave robbers a generation earlier come back to haunt them.
"A compelling story peopled with interesting characters and vivid details drawn from impeccable research. Victorian Britain comes to life, thanks to period dialogue that rings all the right notes and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very last page. Delightful!"
~ Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times best-selling author of Mine Is the Night
"The historical setting is authentic and allows the reader a glimpse, without overwhelming. An enjoyable book which entertains and delights. ~ Wendy Jones, The DI Shona McKenzie Mysteries
"Donna Fletcher Crow's settings are impeccable, every detail accurate, so the reader can enjoy and be enthralled by the deliciously tangled tale she weaves... a spider-web of interlocking crimes and family secrets, all satisfactorily resolved at the end. A thoroughly delightful excursion by an accomplished storyteller." ~ Dorothy Stewart, When The Boats Come Home
