Publisher's Summary

The plaintiffs in a sensational breach of promise suit are wealthy social climbers Barton and Delphine Lambert, suing on behalf of their beautiful daughter, Zillah. The defendant is Zillah's alleged fiancé, brilliant young architect Killian Melville, who adamantly declares that he will not, cannot, marry her. Not even to his counsel, distinguished barrister Sir Oliver Rathbone, will Killian explain his rejection of rich and charming Zillah. Utterly baffled, Rathbone turns for help to his old comrades in crime - Monk, the private investigator who knows his city like the back of his hand, and fearless nurse Hester Latterly. But even as they scout London for clues, from Mayfair to sordid Devil's Acre, the case suddenly and tragically ends. An outcome that no one - except a ruthless murderer - could have foreseen.

Awesome

The story is awesome, with characters you will never forget. The description of what a wounded disfigured soldier goes through is so real you can feel everything he feels. The story of what women had to go through to be anything but a wife is so sad and makes you so upset yet there are times of tears and laughter. It is just a magnificent story and a story for all, men and women.

Exceptional

I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate Anne Perry's writing. This I believe is my favorite of her books to date. initially I could not imagine how she would intertwine the two story lines. She did not disappoint.

Painfully slow

Story is painfully slow. Author felt the need to describe every step… it’s a story of a very different time.
