The Lost Duchess

Résumé du livre

In Edwardian London, losing your wife is simply not done – unless she vanishes in style

When the Duchess of Dalby steps into her carriage after a simple dress fitting, the duke expects her back in time for tea. Instead, the carriage arrives empty – and he receives a ransom note demanding six hundred pounds in gold sovereigns.

The duke is aghast. London is scandalised. And somewhere in the city, a gentleman rogue in a white top hat smiles.

What follows is a frothy tangle of mistaken identities, outrageous ransom demands, dashing scoundrels, and one baffled but determined duke – all in pursuit of a duchess who may not be quite as 'lost' as everyone thinks…

Brimming with sparkling banter, delicious absurdity and a mischievous twist ending, The Lost Duchess is a fast-paced Edwardian romp full of charm, intrigue and laughter. A quick, lighthearted read – perfect for a cup of tea and a smile.
