Newly married Emily Richards walks into a family drama that recalls Forster' s classic work while honeymooning at an English country house, in the gripping fifth Crime with the Classics cozy. Retired professor Emily Richards and her husband, Luke, are taking a much-needed break from Windy Corner and spending their honeymoon five thousand miles away as paying guests at Fitzhugh Manor in Oxfordshire. Quaint nearby villages and the manor' s impressive turrets and arches capture Emily' s Anglophile heart, but when she meets its dashing young heir, James Fitzhugh, and his American wife, Allison, James' s cousin Penelope, his dithering uncle Roger and the manor' s formidable dowager, Lady Margaret Fitzhugh, it' s clear that class prejudice, resentment and secrets threaten to tear the family apart. Is there more to a fatal accident than meets the eye? Emily soon finds herself in the middle of a family drama redolent of Forster' s classic novels, but can she pull off her own masterstroke to catch a killer?
