Duelling, derring-do, and dastardly deeds are all in a day's work for Liberty Lane: the plucky heroine for fans of Matthew Hawkwood and Sarah Waters's Victorian novels. London. Summer 1839. And the temperature is rising as Liberty Lane takes on her strangest case yet. Deranged aristocrat Lord Brinkburn is nearing death and his elder son, Stephen, is expecting to inherit the title. But Lady Brinkburn's sudden announcement that Stephen is illegitimate throws the family into turmoil. Tensions reach boiling point between the two brothers, one of whom stands to gain everything, and they come to blows in public - much to the amusement of London Society. Liberty is engaged privately to get to the truth of the matter, but a macabre murder raises the stakes considerably!added to which she finds her own judgement being undermined by the beguiling ways of Lady Brinkburn. She is only too aware that time is running out - one of the brothers may be next, but which will it be!?

Different title, same book!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Be aware that this is the SAME BOOK as "A Family Affair" by the same author. This is apparently a matter of a decision by the American publisher to assign a different title.

A Corpse in Shining Armour
13 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very good book, I enjoyed it. It's a story about a young lady living in England in the late part of the 19th century. She is a part time music teacher, full time private investigator, although she (Liberty Lane) would allure you to believing that was the other way around. It is full of mystery, murder, and adventure. The author does a very good job blending the history of England with his story.
