Accused of murdering her husband, Lady Donna Kersey turns to the only people who can prove her innocence, her brother and his new bride. As Robert and Kristina start their search for the real killer they learn the murder might be more complicated than first thought. Uncovering evidence sends the three in pursuit of a possible suspect only to find this person is innocent, or is he not guilty of the murder but not something else. When Robert and Kristina learn Lord Kersey might not be exactly who they believe him to be that’s when the facts become murky. It takes a surprise visit by Kristina’s brother to help set the record straight which only adds more confusion to the facts. Will Robert and Kristina find the killer of Lord Kersey before the authorities take Lady Kersey away in irons?
Lady Kersey is a prime suspect in the murder of her husband. Her brother, Viscount Robert Markson and his very new wife, Kristina, are sure she is innocent and set out to prove it. This was a good read. Full of mystery, hidden papers, whiskey, sherry, lots of good food, and of course marital kissy kiss. I had to chuckle at the interruptions these two newly weds had at every turn. But, after all, they were out to solve a murder. A turn of events at the end surprised me. I'm glad that I found this author. Mr. Downs is a treat to read.
