Living in Hampstead with her confidante and landlady, Mrs. Bentley, who once let rooms to John Keats, Laetitia makes her living as a highly discreet private investigator. Her brother, Frederick Tyson, is a criminal barrister living in the neighboring village of Highgate with his wife and ten children. Frederick finds the cases, and Laetitia solves them using her arch intelligence, her iron discretion, and her immaculate cover as an unsuspecting widow. When Frederick brings to her attention a case involving the son of the well-respected, highly connected Sir James Calderstone, Laetitia sets off for Lincolnshire to take up a position as the family's new governess--quickly making herself indispensable. But the seemingly simple case--looking into young Charles Calderstone's "inappropriate" love interest--soon takes a rather unpleasant turn. And as the family's secrets begin to unfold, Laetitia discovers the Calderstones have more to hide than most. Dickensian in its scope and characters, The Secrets of Wishtide brings nineteenth century society vividly to life and illuminates the effect of Victorian morality on women's lives. Introducing an irresistible new detective, the first book in the Laetitia Rodd Mystery series will enthrall and delight" -- $c provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rodd, Laetitia (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Governesses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Private investigators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Aristocracy (Social class) $z England $y 19th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409034307.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305012856.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127011709.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207020141.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909041604.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084158.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070057.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200103011326.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717032113.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006101107.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116013124.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20170801011436.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418115732.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20170311010858.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20161216033251.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20161216011933.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20161216010648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6FF9FBF889F811E6850761E1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
