A book talk by Alicia Gunther

London,England 1886 What was intended to be an acceptably happy arranged marriage for Julia March, turned out to be anything but.

While standing over her dying husband, the mysterious Nicholas Brisbane begins to bring to light secrets of her husband that she could never have expected.

Julia soon discovers that what she thought was a death due to physical illness could in fact be murder.

Despite Mr. Brisbane's warning of the dangers in investigating her husbands possible murder, Julia is insistent on being involved in the investigation.

But how close to home will this investigation take her?

Even with the help of the illustrious Mr. Brisbane, is she ready to face more of the unpleasant truths behind her marriage?

Or the potential killer that waits for her arrival?
