A Murderous Marriage

Since the Great War, some family fortunes have suffered, including those of the Renshaws. Despite being the granddaughter of an earl, Julia Renshaw is under pressure to marry for money – and has settled for Gilbert Townsend, a viscount and a wealthy industrialist. He is decades older than Julia, and it’s clear to her sister Phoebe – and to Eva, who has been like a surrogate mother to the girls – that this is not a love match. Nevertheless, the wedding takes place – and in a hurry.
