Overview

When Judith and Louisa-Margaretta retreat to Russia, they must act quickly when someone begins to attack the royal family. Louisa-Margaretta Haddington must find a husband immediately or face the gravest scandal. And when an intriguing French composer begins to pay attention to her, it appears her trip to Russia may not have been in vain. Of course, she had planned to spend her time in St Petersburg going to parties, not trying to rescue princes and princesses. But when someone begins to systematically attack members of the royal family, she knows that even ballrooms are no longer safe. Judith St Clair, who is just as concerned about these incidents, is also worried for her own future. Her fiance, Mr Ramsbury, is at the Congress of Vienna, helping decide the fate of all Europe, but there are many salacious rumours about that gathering. What's worse, Judith hears nothing from Mr Ramsbury himself, and one particular gentleman in St Petersburg is eager to court her. But she has more pressing troubles as the would-be assassin closes in, especially when it becomes clear that even Judith and Louisa-Margaretta are in danger. The two friends, for all their experience finding murderers, are lost in St Petersburg's chilly streets and cozy drawing rooms. But they must rely on each other and all the local allies they can find, for if the assassin turns on Emperor Alexander, the fate of many nations will hang in the balance. This Regency murder mystery will whisk you away to St Petersburg's icy canals and grand palaces.
