October 1811 and disgraced Julian Silvester, the Marquis of Trevelin vows to clear his friend Willy Gilbert of killing his younger brother. An acquaintance of his, Lady Vawdrey, has had her diamond necklace stolen and he agrees to find it and the guilty party. But is there a connection between the two events. His aim is to get back his good name and be welcomed back into society.
I really enjoyed this well-written, historical mystery, with some good rounded characters and look forward to the next book.

Two years later and Lord Julian Trevelin is happily betrothed to Miss Jane Leavitt though without a wedding date set. While waiting Trevelin becomes interested in the story of a Miss Hannah Andersen and the scandal attached to the death of her father. But what of Trevelin's scheming cousin Evelyn Rogers-Reimann.
Trevelin is a damaged soul and wishes to right what he perceives to be wrongs but it doesn't make him a particularly likeable character.
Although I enjoyed the book I wish that I had re-read the first in the series to re-acquaint myself with the history of Trevelin
