Anthea Halliwell's once-bright future is cruelly taken from her the moment she is accused of stealing a necklace dripping with rubies and diamonds and attempting to sell it. Her beloved Captain Crispin breaks off their engagement at the first hint of scandal and marries her friend instead. Then to make matters worse, her father gambles away their fortune.

It may be a marriage of convenience for Anthea, but Gideon will do anything to clear his wife's name. Gideon enlists the help of John and Lydia Savidge, who have their own reputation for solving crimes. While tongues wag and suspicions mount, John and Lydia suspect more than theft and slander are at play. And someone is killing to keep their secrets hidden . . .
Autorenporträt
Beth Andrews (a.k.a. Paul Bethel) was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. At the age of about seven, 'Beth' was reading lurid and completely inappropriate tales of murder in True Detective magazine - which may explain her somewhat twisted sense of humour. Writing soon followed. Graduating to Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, Regency romance and mystery was a natural progression - though Paul still indulges in scribbling occasional contemporary stories and song lyrics just for fun, as well as non-fiction articles and essays for Jane Austen's Regency World. Paul also enjoys music, gardening, travel (pre-pandemic, of course) and the beach.
