The Lady and the Lawyer
LatL in Epub
Last of my Regency series before I moved on to my first love--Science-fiction. I wanted a different heroine--someone softer and more sensible than Lady Fred, but I filled up the rest of the story with odd characters.
When Caroline Hedley, an unpaid spinster
governess for her cousin's children, is asked to pay a visit to her aunt
Hepsibah, she is inclined to refuse of bad blood between her family and
her aunt. There is something decidedly smoky going on at Puck Hall,
however, so Caro agrees to go to Puck Hall. There she finds Aunt Sibby
is dying. The old woman has put her trust in a steward and a housekeeper
who seem more anxious for her death than they should be. Indeed, if
Caro were a suspicious sort of person, she might think of poison.
Bewildered by the plots and schemes of the servants, and horrified to
learn the extent of her aunt's wickedness, Caro is in danger of losing
her own soul. Will she fall in with their plan to kill the old woman, or
can she save herself with the help of the good people of High Fielding
and a handsome barrister with a penchant for rescuing lost and unwanted
creatures?
