Saving Grace: A Victorian Mystery

Description

Who poisoned Charles Petrie? Dr. James Collymore, a man familiar with poisons, a man harboring a dark secret that, if exposed, would ruin his career; Florrie, the maid who supplied Charles with his bedtime drink; Bert Kemp, a disgruntled groom, who used poisons in his work, who four months previously had predicted Charles’s dying day; Mrs. Jennet Quinn, a lady’s companion with a deep knowledge of poisons and a deep fear of dismissal; or Grace Petrie, Charles’s wife of four months, a woman with a scandalous past, a woman shunned by polite society?

With crowds flocking to the courtroom and the shadow of suspicion falling upon Grace in the shape of the hangman’s noose, can the dashing young advocate Daniel Morgan save her?
