Someone has stepped up to claim Miss Morton’s family title.
The Scuttons from Epping in Essex have applied to the earldom. Except, of the
three there, Mrs. Scutton, the claimant’s mother, seems like the only one who
is pushing the information. Thomas seems somewhat indifferent while his sister
Mary downright doesn’t believe it.
But, before Caroline can pull out the information that Mary knows, the woman is killed. Mrs. Scutton is there and sees Mary's newly-freed-from-prison husband and his brother running away. We don't get to see the husband much, but everyone seems inclined to beleive Mrs. Scutton. Why would she lie?
If you've read the Miss Morton stories before, you can probably guess some of the twists. Still fairly light and I really wish we had gotten to see more of the husband, but a quick, mostly enjoyable read.
Three stars
