A murderous marriage

A murderous marriage

Alyssa Maxwell
Book - 2019

Since the Great War, the Renshaw family fortune has suffered, and Lady Julia Renshaw is under pressure to marry for money. She has settled on Gilbert Townsend, a much older viscount and wealthy industrialist. It<U+2019>s clear to her sister Phoebe that this is not a love match. Nevertheless, the wedding takes place<U+2014>and in a hurry. At the reception aboard the groom<U+2019>s yacht, there appears to be tension between Gil and several guests: his best man, a fellow veteran of the Boer War; his grouchy spinster sister; and his current heir, a nervous young cousin named Ernest. The bride is also less than pleased when she discovers that Gil<U+2019>s attractive young secretary will be escorting them on their honeymoon. The next morning, before the yacht can depart the harbor, Gil<U+2019>s body is found in the water below<U+2014>and Julia is the prime suspect. Now Phoebe and her maid Eva must discover who pushed him over before the Renshaws<U+2019> social standing is irreparably stained by murder.
