Ok, nobody wants to lose £500 - but is it big enough of a deal to deserve a short story? To put it into context: a Victorian £500 was about £60,000 in today's money. So, yeah, it's a big deal.

Produktbeschreibung
Ok, nobody wants to lose £500 - but is it big enough of a deal to deserve a short story? To put it into context: a Victorian £500 was about £60,000 in today's money. So, yeah, it's a big deal. That's why, when Lady Lydiard has the money stolen from her, the plot becomes a whodunnit. A precursor to modern-day detective novels, this novella revolves around the colourful characters (and a Scottie dog) who are all present in Lady Lydiard's household when her £500 disappears. In this fun and compelling tale, two of the men suspected are both romantically interested in Isabel Miller, Lady Lydiard's companion-cum-adoptive-daughter. "My Lady's Money" follows these suspects as the intensity of both the theft and romance increases. A classic mystery novella with a love story: think Miss Marple but with marriage proposals.
