After Lady Abigail Worthing and her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson, get snowed in at a dinner party held at the home of Lord Charles Duncan, one of Londonâs most powerful magistrates, an evening of dinner and debates turns deadly. - Random House, Inc.
Embracing the true diversity of the Regency era, award-winning author Vanessa Riley brings readers a vibrant historical mystery starring an engaging heroine with an independent streak, a notorious past, and a decided talent for sleuthing in Murder in Berkley Square the latest novel in her Lady Worthing Mystery series.
A marriage of convenience saved Lady Abigail Worthingâs family from disgrace, but sheâs finding her absent husband's endless conditions increasingly repressive. Unable to stay at their London home during the oncoming winter, she accepts a ride to the country from her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. However, she's less than delighted that sheâs his excuse to avoid a dinner held by Lord Charles Duncan, one of London's most powerfulâand relentlessâmagistrates. More irritating, women are decidedly unwelcome at the eveningâs prestigious discussion of criminalityâeven though Abigail and Stapleton have solved several cases together . . .
Then an unexpected blizzard strands them at Lord Duncanâs with his now-houseguests. Suddenly, an evening of fine dining, fine brandy, and insightful debate becomes an inescapableâand deadlyâordeal. The ultimate test for Abigialâs skill. One of the dinner guests is found dead in front of the Berkley Square mansion. And when another party is murdered, Abigail discovers each had received a taunting, prophetic nursery rhyme . . . coincidence, or clues left by a killer on the loose?
Through deft interrogation, she learns everyone present is connected to Lord Duncan's greatest failure in the courts: the conviction of a Martinique plantation informant for a murder he didnât commit. But as Abigail races to find who was really responsible for the miscarriage of justice, she'll be forced to put her own and Stapleton's lives at risk in a gambit that will alter their fates foreverâor end them permanently.
