Description/Summary
- Summary:
- When she stumbles upon the body of her neighbor Stapleton Hendersons wife, Lady Abigail Worthing, expecting to be under suspicion due to her skin color and her mother's notorious past, teams up with Henderson and together they dive into the treacherous waters of London's high society to find the truth.
Lady Abigail Worthing discovers a body on her property: the victim is Juliet, the wife of her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. She expects to be under suspicion: Abigail's skin color and her mother's notorious past have earned her a certain reputation among the ton, and no amount of wealth or status will eclipse it. Abigail was attending a secret pro-abolition meeting at the time of the murder, but to her surprise Henderson offers her an alibi. Abigail, whose marriage to Lord Worthing was not a love match, knows well how appearances can deceive. Yet who in their circle would have killed Juliet, and why? -- adapted from jacket - Language:
