A Most Unfortunate Murder: A Regency Mystery Romp
About this ebook
When Clarissa Dainty, an impoverished governess, discovers the dead body of her friend and fellow lodger, she's thrust into a mystery that no one seems eager to solve. With Bow Street indifferent to the demise of a penniless single woman and society equally dismissive, Clarissa takes matters into her own capable hands--armed only with her wits, a stack of old love letters, and a fierce sense of justice.
Her search leads her from a dim London boarding house to a cliffside Cornwall estate--and into the orbit of two very different men: a no-nonsense Bow Street officer, and a charming nobleman whose past may be more entangled with the victim's than it at first appears.
As clues surface and suspicions deepen, Clarissa must navigate not only the dangers of a murderer still at large, but also the unsettling realization that her carefully ordered life may be on the verge of becoming something altogether less . . . practical.
Because solving a murder is one thing.
Risking one's heart is quite another.
