And somewhere in the city, a gentleman rogue in a white top hat is smiling.
What follows is a frothy tangle of mistaken identities, outrageous ransom demands, dashing scoundrels, and one baffled but determined duke - all in pursuit of a duchess who may not be quite as "lost" as everyone thinks.Brimming with sparkling banter, delicious absurdity and a mischievous twist ending, The Lost Duchess is a fast-paced Edwardian romp full of charm, intrigue and laughter. A quick, lighthearted read - perfect for a cup of tea and a smile.
