The characters are very different but this is still a page turner & I hope there’s more to follow. Con or to give her, her title Lady Constance is estranged from her parents, I found that it took me some time to really warm to her but as the book progressed liked her more & more. A thoroughly good story of murder with twists & turns that kept me guessing to the end My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
