The elegance of a London season and the atrocities of an Indian mutiny woven into an intricate tapestry
Antonia and Charles are swept up in the glittering swirl of a London season as they present Aunt Aelfrida’s ward to society. In India Antonia’s closest girlhood friend is caught in the most brutal massacre ‘in the book of time’. What could these disparate events have to do with murders in London and Brighton? This engrossing story comes to life with all the vivid historical detail readers expect from Donna Fletcher Crow.
This book is a bit different from the other Lord Danvers books, partly due to its focus on India. There are good plot twists, red herrings, and questionable characters. You learn a lot of history.

In this very well researched mystery set in London and the India of the Indian Mutiny, history comes to vibrant life with a great story, with good characters and fascinating details of clothes, customs and conditions. Great stuff!

Ms. Crow builds suspense by blending historical facts with horrifying detail in graceful Victorian prose that fascinates, grips the reader and doesn’t let go. I admire the author’s meticulous research of the Indian mutiny, and her gracious style of writing which never falters.
