Produktbeschreibung
Lady Rosamund Phipps, daughter of an earl, has a secret. Well, more than one. Such as the fact that she's so uninterested in sex that she married a man who promised to leave her alone and stick to his mistress. And a secret only her family knows-the mortifying compulsion to check things over and over. Society condemns people like her to asylums. But when she discovers the dead body of a footman on the stairs, everything she's tried to hide for years may be spilled out in broad daylight. First the anonymous caricaturist, Corvus, implicates Lady Rosamund in a series of scandalous prints. Worse, though, are the poison pen letters that indicate someone knows the shameful secret of her compulsions. She cannot do detective work on her own without seeming odder than she already is, but she has no choice if she is to unmask both Corvus and the poison pen.
Autorenporträt
Winner of the Holt Medallion, Maggie, Daphne du Maurier, Reviewer's Choice, and Epic awards, USA Today bestselling author Barbara Monajem wrote her first story at eight years old about apple tree gnomes. After publishing a middle-grade fantasy, she settled on historical mysteries and romances with intrepid heroines and long-suffering heroes (or vice versa). Barbara used to have two items on her bucket list: to make asparagus pudding and to succeed at knitting socks. She managed the first (don't ask) but doubts she'll ever accomplish the second. This is not a bid for immortality but merely the dismal truth. She lives near Atlanta with an ever-shifting population of relatives, friends, and feline strays.
