Freed from the Comanches who took her prisoner years before, Sarah Peters returns home to find herself shunned by society and agrees to a marriage of convenience in order to save her reputation. Original.
Victoria Thompson was a beloved authoress of 'standard mystery' novels.
This middle of the road tone is not violent like a 'thriller' but unsanitized (NOT light like a 'cozy mystery'), is unflinchingly adult, serious, and dark.
Humour, romance, family, and compassion balance out the crime part of dear Victoria's unforgettable mysteries.
