Miss Abbott, now wed to her beloved Mr. Sheridan, (who is now Lord Sheridan dur to inheriting his late father's title and fortune) has been invited to Merryton to visit with two of her husband's cousins, a married couple. Although they specifically invited Juliette to come for a visit, they seem far less than cordial or welcoming. Juliette quickly begins to uncover the Harris’s deadly secrets but as the complications mount and her fears grow, her options to seek and find help dwindle to . . . nothing. A horrible death for both Juliette and her maid seem likely. To uncover the reason behind the evil man’s actions whilst also saving her own and Tilda’s life is uppermost in Miss Abbott’s mind. Can our clever, crime-solving sleuth find a way to escape the monster's clutches before it’s too late?
