nIn Dianne Freemans charming Victorian-era mystery series, Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her sisters wedding threatened by a vow of vengeance. nLondon is known for its bustle and intrigues, but the sedate English countryside can host--or hide--any number of secrets. Frances, the widowed Countess of Harleigh, needs a venue for her sister Lilys imminent wedding, away from prying eyes. Risings, George Hazletons family estate in Hampshire, is a perfect choice, and soon Frances, her beloved George, and other guests have gathered to enjoy the usual country pursuits--shooting, horse riding, and romantic interludes in secluded gardens. n nBut the bucolic setting harbors a menace, and its not simply the arrival of Frances socially ambitious mother. Above and below stairs, mysterious accidents befall guests and staff alike. Before long, Frances suspects these accidents are deliberate, and fears that the intended victim is Lilys fianc�, Leo. Frances mother is unimpressed by Lilys groom-to-be and would much prefer that Lily find an aristocratic husband, just as Frances did. But now that Frances has found happiness with George--a man who loves her for much more than her dowry--she heartily approves of Lilys choice. If she can just keep the couple safe from villains and meddling mamas. n nAs Frances and George search for the culprit among the assembled family, friends, and servants, more victims fall prey to the mayhem. Mishaps become full-blooded murder, and it seems that no one is safe. And unless Frances can quickly flush out the culprit, the peal of wedding bells may give way to another funeral toll.n
