About this audiobook
A Victorian wife has obligations to her husband and home. But Penny Blakely is no ordinary Victorian wife.
When a house in Penny's neighborhood is gutted by fire, she learns of a connection to an unsolved murder. Penny will always be a news reporter at heart and the mystery is impossible to ignore.
How did a young, middle-class lady fall from grace? And who killed her? Penny's search for the truth takes her to London's East End and a notorious street once known as the Ratcliffe Highway.
Her investigations stir long-buried secrets and she soon makes some unpleasant enemies. But will her new husband approve of her exploits and lend his support?
