Lady Mary Montagu Douglas Scott, the youngest child of Queen Victoria's close friends the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, deliberately cultivated a mousey persona that allows her to remain overlooked and significantly underestimated by all. It's the perfect cover to moonlight as an amateur sleuth for high society's inner circle. Lady Mary also meets Colonel Walter Trefusis, a distinguished and extremely handsome war veteran. The two form an unlikely alliance to solve a series of audacious crimes - and indulge in a highly charged on-off romance.
