A Bride's Guide to Marriage and...

Dianne Freeman

“Pure unadulterated fun” (Publishers Weekly) for fans of Ashley Weaver,  
Deanna Raybourn, and Tasha Alexander, the Agatha Award–winning Countess  
of Harleigh Mysteries are a witty romp through the high society of Victorian  
England with a touch of romance, an independent female lead, and rich  
historical detail. In this charming historical mystery, Frances Wynn, the  
American-born Countess of Harleigh, finds her wedding day overshadowed by  
murder … 
On the eve of her marriage to George Hazelton, Frances has a great deal more on  
her mind than flowers and seating arrangements. The Connors and the  
Bainbridges, two families of American robber barons, have taken up residence in  
London, and their bitter rivalry is spilling over into the highest social circles. At the  
request of her brother, Alonzo, who is quite taken with Miss Madeline Connor,  
Frances has invited the Connor family to her wedding. Meanwhile, Frances’s  
mother has invited Mr. Bainbridge, and Frances fears the nuptials may end up  
being newspaper-worthy for all the wrong reasons. 
On the day itself, Frances is relieved that Madeline’s father is not among the  
guests at the church. The reason, however, is most unfortunate: Mr. Connor is  
found murdered in his home. More shocking still, Alonzo is caught at the scene— 
holding the murder weapon. 
Powerful and ruthless, Connor appears to have amassed a wealth of enemies.  
Frances and George put their wedding trip on hold to try and clear Alonzo’s name.  
But there are secrets to sift through, not just in the feuding families, but also in  
their own. With a killer determined to evade discovery—even if it means taking  
another life—Frances’s newlywed days will be perilous indeed …

Overwhelmed by mechanical problems, the Soviet crew abandons their sub near Pt. Barrow, Alaska. The Teuthis skipper launches DSRV-1 Mystic, so Mac and his crew can board the empty sub and gather intelligence.
