Description

A foolhardy venture: Dolly Wycliffe wishes to sue an English peer for the wrongful death of her father.

An ambitious wager: Edmund Caruthers bets the old boys at his club he can win the case.

Together Dolly and Edmund uncover a murder-for-hire plot that will rock London society as they risk ridicule and ruin to expose a most foul deed.

Will Dolly accept his lordship’s offer of an annuity to settle her claim? If she does, her family won’t be turned out into the street. Will Edmund encourage her to take the offer so he can win a wager he cannot possibly cover if she doesn’t?

Can justice prevail, and at what price?

This book was a delight to read and an interesting look at the legal system of England.. I was fighting with her to get to the truth. It was a great story!

Ehhhhh...I've read worse! I'd this book was a flavor of ice cream it would be sweet cream. Not quite as memorable or desirable as vanilla but not as terrible as say...ummm...squid ink ice cream?!?!?! I don't even know. It lost my interest so many times that I lost count. I literally started planning my evening while my eyes continued to read. That's never a good sign!

The Good: It was in English and I know that language. No really, the writing was grammatically well written and the plot had a lot of potential.

The Not So Good: this really should have been a short 70 page novella. It was slow, uninteresting in parts, and took real effort to finish it.

The Verdict: 2 Stars
