![]() ![]() Lady of Ashes is the first of a new historical mystery series by Christine Trent, the author of three historical fiction novels. But who could possibly want to hurt these people, and why? ![]() She begins to notice strange markings on some of the bodies she’s been called on to handle, and suspects foul play may be involved. In fact, Violet will soon have more than enough to worry about, and her housekeeping skills, or lack of, will be the least of her problems. He’s loathe to share details with Violet, but she’s so busy with the business that she has no time to worry about it, until his treatment of her begins to deteriorate. ![]() Soon, Graham becomes preoccupied with a business venture with his brother, and it seems to have something to do with his hate of America and a perceived slight that his grandfather suffered at the hands of Americans. Unfortunately for Graham, Violet isn’t much of a housewife and he’s begun to point out her shortcomings in the keeping of the house and the quality of their help. When she married her husband, Graham Morgan, eight years ago, he was thrilled that he’d met a woman, and a beautiful one at that, who was more than eager to learn the profession of undertaking, and Violet has since thrown herself into the business. ![]() Fortunately, Violet Morgan isn’t concerned with those sensibilities in the least. Ladies in 1861 London are expected to be the very picture of decorum, so the thought of a woman undertaker may offend a few delicate sensibilities. ![]()
