The year is 1897, Queen Victoria is three years from the end of her long reign, while one wealthy and warped wife has come to the end of hers. Full-stop applied when her feckless and opportunist husband can take no more of her treatment of him and takes steps to remove her from his life. A removal that will see him inherit her considerable fortune and portfolio of properties and finally be able to lead the dissolute and idle life of which he's always dreamed.
A dream of Mr Wilson Fenway, it turns out, that hasn't taken into account his murdered wife and the Last Will and Testament favouring her young housekeeper, Elspeth.
A young housekeeper empowered by the iron-clad terms of the Will to administer the estate of her late mistress and ensure her feckless husband is taken care of by a firm female hand.
If, that is, he wishes to continue enjoying the life he has known in the home he expected to be his and now finds controlled by a woman he regarded as no more than a servant.
A "Servant" who has not only been given authority over him if he wishes to retain the life he has known until now, but has stone-cold evidence that he was responsible for the poisoning of her beloved mistress.
A mistress with whom she shared certain emotional ...peculiarities!
It will not end well.
Believable female-led fantasy and suspense for the connoisseur of fiction's commanding women.
