The Fanshawes are back in another twisty mystery! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Barbara Erskine, and Jane Austen.

Who hanged the body in the woods?

1796, England

Heavily pregnant Lady Ottilia Fanshawe should not really be traveling. But when her sister-in-law dies, she goes with her husband Francis to comfort her brother and her two nephews. And of course it's not long before the services of her alter ego, Lady Fan, are required.

While playing in the woodlands, the two boys come across a gruesome discovery. A dead man is hanging from a tree.

The corpse is quickly identified as the local justice, Hector Penkevil, a man universally disliked for his meanness. And it's soon clear that his death was not suicide, but murder.

With Penkevil so disliked in the community, how can Lady Fan narrow down the suspects? Will she find the killer? And can she solve the mystery before she is forced to bed with her pregnancy?

I love that the series does not have a repetitive story. It’s different and constantly brain catching!

Continued Suspense without repetition

Still love the series but this was not my favorite. It actually made Lady Fan appear to make more trouble than it was worth. This has happened with a few of my favorite female detectives… typically long into their career they seem not able to leave good enough alone.

Not my favorite…
