What to expect
Victorian London's marriage season turns deadly when a poisoned punch bowl and a dessert leaves two debutantes dead and an innocent girl holding the blame.
Two deaths. One innocent girl. And a poison no one can name.
London, 1890. The Season is in full swing. The wealthy and landed set are mixing and mingling with purpose—marriages to be made, fortunes to be joined, alliances to be secured. Then a punch bowl is poisoned. Then a dessert. Two debutantes die, and a serving girl is blamed.
That serving girl is the daughter of Francine Murphy's closest friend. She is not guilty.
Francine and Doctor Jekyll must move quickly—identifying the mysterious poison, untangling the web of motives, and uncovering not only who is behind the murders, but why. In a world where reputation is everything and truth is inconvenient, finding justice may cost more than they bargained for.
John A. Hoda delivers a gripping Victorian mystery set in the glittering, treacherous world of London's high society—atmospheric, tightly plotted, and driven by a sleuthing partnership that refuses to let the wrong person hang.
