Mrs. England Summary:

Simmering with slow-burning menace, Mrs. England is a portrait of an Edwardian marriage. It’s an enthralling tale of men and women, power and control, courage, truth, and the darkest deception.

West Yorkshire, 1904. Recently graduated Ruby May takes a nanny position looking after the children of Charles and Lilian England, a wealthy couple from a powerful dynasty of mill owners. At first, she hopes it will be the fresh start she needs. But as she adapts to life at the isolated Hardcastle House, it becomes clear something is not quite right about the beautiful, mysterious Mrs. England.

Distant and withdrawn, Lilian shows little interest in her children or charming husband. She is also far from the angel of the house Ruby was expecting.

As the warm, vivacious Charles welcomes Ruby into the family, a series of strange events forces her to question everything she thought she knew. Ostracized by the servants and increasingly uneasy, Ruby must face her own demons in order to prevent history from repeating itself. After all, there’s no such thing as the perfect family—she should know.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan’s suspenseful new mass-market original! It’s about a college senior’s podcast that delves into an unsolved campus murder of a girl three years earlier. But individual callers explode every fact previously thought to be true.

Lucas Vega is obsessed with the death of Candace Swain. Candace left a sorority party one night and never came back. Her body was found two weeks later. Sadly, the case has grown cold. Three years later, Lucas discovers new information while interning at the Medical Examiner’s Office. But the police have no interest.

Lucas knows he has several credible pieces of the puzzle. He just isn’t sure how they fit together. So, he creates a podcast to revisit Candace’s last hours. He asks listeners to crowdsource what they remember. Then he invites guest lecturer, former US Marshal Regan Merritt, to come on and share her expertise.

New tips come in that convince Lucas and Regan they are onto something. Another one hints at Candace’s secret life. It paints a much darker picture than Lucas imagined. Yet another one implicates other sorority sisters.

Then, shockingly, one of the podcast callers turns up dead.

Regan uses her own resources to bolster their theory. But she learns that Lucas is hiding his own dark secret. Obviously, the pressure is on to solve the murder. First, Lucas must come clean about his real motives in pursuing this podcast – before the killer silences him forever.
