A mystery underlies the story which begins at Elizabeth’s funeral. Apparently, she’s the victim of an accidental drowning right before her wedding to sought-after bachelor Henry Schoonmaker. As we read about the preceding weeks, we see how she is compelled to marry Henry, and how the other three girls wish she’d disappear from their lives. Was her death an accident? Or is foul play involved? Read the book to find out. Although it’s targeted at a young adult audience, it’ll appeal to all historical romance fans. A clever plot, well-drawn characters, and fascinating details about life among the rich and famous will keep you turning pages.
