“Is she dead?” While hosting a party, Phoebe’s father discovers a golden-haired stranger unconscious on the parsonage doorstep. None of his guests know who she is, but the couple who provide her a place to recover soon suspects she is hiding a secret. Mix in a wealthy industrialist seeking a wife, an English earl masquerading as a commoner, and a handful of Jane Austen’s readers, and what do you get? Murder! Join Phoebe, a young woman with a knack for eliciting confidences, as she sifts through clues to uncover the culprit. “Sydney Tooman Betts is a gifted, eloquent, and frankly poetic storyteller—a joy to read.” ~Dr. Cliff Kelly, author and former Sr. Editor and Analyst, Focus on the Family’s Truth Project “Phoebe has quickly become a favorite female detective!” ~ Kailey Bechtel, All the Bookish Adventures
