Synopsis

Audrey, Duchess of Fournier, has retreated to the countryside after a murder scandal nearly sent her husband to the gallows, hoping for a quieter life away from London society. That peace is broken when her friend Charlotte, the Countess of Bainbury, is found dead on Fournier Downs parkland.

Audrey summons the one person she trusts to uncover the truth: Principal Officer Hugh Marsden. Using her unusual ability to read the memories held in objects, she pieces together a web of sordid secrets among the local gentry — secrets someone was willing to kill to protect.
