This book sounded like a winner, young woman living in a time when women needed to be married to move about in polite society selects a man to marry to be her “business partner”. She agrees to help him in his surgery (he’s a doctor) and do his accounting in exchange for his name. He agrees, but tells her in no circumstances must she ever visit his ancestral home. Of course, she does, and finds that not only is he a completely different man, but that something very sinister is going on in his home. Unfortunately, I found Jane to be a cold and rather remote heroine and the story line too filled with asides and more information than the reader needed. Weston does a fine job telling the story, but it just doesn’t have much life. More editing may have made this a better story
