Mandy Weston

December 1918. The peace of Foxwood Hall is shattered on the morning of Boxing Day, when the Marquis goes missing. Not entirely missing, however, as macabre evidence of foul play turns up. Lady Phoebe Renshaw and her lady's maid, Eva Huntford, step outside of their social roles and put their lives at risk to apprehend a vicious killer. . .

Lucy Snowe has neither friends nor family in England so sails to France to teach in a girls’ boarding school in the small town of Villette. She is determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances. Charlotte Bronte draws heavily on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels.
