1835 So how does Lord Ambrose Malfine find himself next to the ruined castle of Pribyslav. Well it started with a dinner party, and an expensive diamond necklace which proves to be a fake.
One concern is although the story is set in 1835 Queen Victoria is mentioned a few times, otherwise an entertaining historical story.
