Description

Lord Julian Caldicott accepts a request to search for the missing wife of Mr. John Tait. Evelyn Tait disappeared five years ago, and as Julian attempts to follow a cold trail, he meets with resistance, lies, and suspicion from those who should seek most eagerly to aid him. Matters grow more complicated when the investigation drives a wedge of silence between Julian and his dear friend Hyperia West. Julian battles his own past, unexpected enemies, and Hyperia’s disapproving brother while searching for the prodigal wife, and just when he’s tempted to give up in disgust, he realizes the lady is in serious danger. She needs not only to be found, but also to be rescued from imminent peril, no matter the cost to Julian or to the dreams he’s dared to begin to cherish.

  • Fully engaging from the first page to the last!

    Mr. John Tait asks Lord Julian Caldicott to locate his wife, Evelyn, who has been missing for over five years. With a trail gone so cold, it requires all of Julian’s considerable reconnaissance skills and any assistance he can get. Julian is handicapped by having to keep his dear friend, Hyperia West, ignorant of the search at Mr. Tait’s request. When Evelyn’s family, who ought to be most interested in her location and safety, instead lie and obfuscate, Julian is nearly about to quit the field. In a side story, Hyperia is exposed to danger at the hands of her dim witted brother. But all the storylines are resolved beautifully with a satisfying HEA. The Lord Julian Mysteries are so skillfully constructed that the reader is kept fully engaged from the first page to the last. While part of a series, the Lord Julian Mysteries can each be read individually, though I highly recommend the entire series. This book was provided by the author without any requirement for a review, positive or otherwise. All opinions are 100% my own.
