That's what I call a well-crafted story where intrigue, suspense and emotions are involved. The author leads us into an investigation by a young widow, Lady Julia, who wishes to know the truth about the death of her late husband. That changes a bit. It is well done. The suspense is there to the end. I must say that the outcome is unexpected and particularly well kept. It was not until the last few pages for the end of this intrigue. Dark atmosphere, a bit scary. We discover a young woman determined, courageous, dedicated and desperate to lift the veil on the death of her husband. By cons, a small disappointment concerning the relationship between Lady Julia and Mr. Brisbane. This is surely intended by the author to imply, his readers, that there is a sequel. In short, when reading friendly, original and entertaining.
