Overview: A jilted heiress, a blood-drenched ex-fiancé, and scandal in Gilded Age Boston.
Boston 1892. Ruby Irving, heiress of a Nevada tycoon, is thrilled to have landed a viscount. Ascending to the English aristocracy is normally reserved for elegant New Yorkers and New Englanders. Unfortunately, when she stands at the altar before Boston’s bewildered elite, decked in a bridal gown from the House of Worth, and the church brimming with orchids shipped from Africa, her fiancé jilts her. Shortly after, she discovers him dead, stabbed with the wedding cake knife.
The scandal is immediate, and everyone declares her father the killer. If only Pa hadn’t loudly threatened to kill the viscount when he jilted her, and if only the police didn’t insist Boston’s high society was incapable of committing such an atrocity. Ruby’s father might be brash, and his money might be the unappealing new variety, but Ruby knows he’s no murderer.
Since the police insist they’ve solved the case, Ruby decides to discover who killed the viscount herself. Unfortunately, catching a murderer is rather more difficult than achieving good grades in Renaissance art, and she has the dreadful suspicion her own life might be at stake.
