1953, and Freya Wryton is determined to discover the truth of murdered Lord Selchester’s youthful passion for the mysterious Marie Louise.
Her family and his colleagues want her late uncle’s secrets to go to the grave with him, but intelligence officer Hugo Hawksworth is as curious as Freya about what happened between Lord Selchester and Marie Louise in that golden Oxford summer before the first world war.
The stakes are high, since Marie Louise’s life and death hold the key to the great Selchester inheritance: fortune, castle and title.
This Novella links the first two books nicely together, at the end of A Man of Some Repute a letter had been found from a Mary Louise (otherwise known at Marie Louise as she was French), the letter seems to be plaintive and Freya wants to find out more about the lady who wrote it. What she and Hugo find out will have a rather nasty surprise for Freya's cousin Sonja and will shake the family out of the doldrums!
