Another entertaining tale of Lady Darby and Mr. Gage as they investigate another whodunit. Always an enjoyable journey not only to see the evolving relationship of Kiera & Sebastian, but also to solve the mystery in a Sherlock or Agatha Christie fashion.
Summary from Goodreads: Scotland, 1831. Commissioned to paint the portrait of Lady Drummond, Kiera is saddened when she recognizes the pain in the baroness’s eyes. Lord Drummond is a brute, and his brusque treatment of his wife forces Kiera to think of the torment caused by her own late husband.
Kiera isn’t sure how to help, but when she finds Lady Drummond prostrate on the floor, things take a fatal turn. The physician called to the house and Lord Drummond appear satisfied to rule her death natural, but Kiera is convinced that poison is the real culprit.
Quotes: "...recognizing you should believe something and actually believing it were two very different things."
"Was a loyal lasting marriage even possible?"
