  Old sins cast long shadows when hearts are at stake. 
   
   
   
  It's been fourteen years since Lavinia de Grande was evicted from her childhood home after her father lost his fortune. 
   
   
   
  On entering her first Season courtesy of a cousin's charity, Lavinia vows to wreak vengeance on Earl Walton, the villain who orchestrated their ruination. Not even an alluring viscount—whose masterful touch and fiery kisses set her senses ablaze—will distract her from her plan to retrieve the family heirlooms lost at Walton's hands, by fair means or foul. 
   
   
   
  Peregrine, Viscount Marlow, has been tasked with solving a mystery. A thief known as "the Phoenix" is targeting the ton and stealing seemingly unconnected treasures from different houses. During his investigation, Peregrine is distracted by the daughter of an impoverished viscount—a young woman unlike other debutantes, with a mind of her own and a body ripe for claiming. 
   
   
   
  As Peregrine draws closer to his quarry, he unearths a secret that links the Phoenix to his own father, and Lavinia, who is falling for her would-be captor, soon learns that what began as a game, might cost her liberty—or even her life. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  "A murder will occur tonight at Beecham House . . ." Who could resist such a compelling invitation? Of course, the murder in question purports to be a party game, and Phyllida looks forward to using some of the deductive skills she has acquired thanks to her employer, Mrs. Agatha, who is unable to attend in person. 
   
   
   
  The hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Wokesley, are new to the area, and Phyllida gladly offers their own overwhelmed housekeeper some guidance while events get underway. Family friends have been enlisted to play the suspects, and Mr. Wokesley excels in his role of dead body. Unfortunately, when the game's solution is about to be unveiled, the participants discover that life has imitated art. Mr. Wokesley really is dead! 
   
   
   
  In the absence of Inspector Cork, Phyllida takes temporary charge of the investigation, guiding the local constable through interviews with the Murder Game actors. At first, there seems no motive to want Mr. Wokesley dead . . . but then Phyllida begins to connect each of the suspects with the roles they played and the motives assigned to them. It soon becomes clear that everyone had a reason to murder their host—both in the game and in real life. Before long, Phyllida is embroiled in a fiendishly puzzling case, with a killer who refuses to play by the rules . . .

  This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis of the book. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
  Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, this novel follows Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young nurse who leaves behind a privileged but sheltered life in California to serve on the front lines. In the chaos of combat hospitals, she forges unbreakable bonds with fellow nurses while enduring the unrelenting toll of war. Returning home, Frankie expects gratitude but instead encounters silence, denial, and erasure of her service. Struggling with grief, trauma, and the loss of her place in a world that refuses to see her, she must learn to rebuild her life, find her voice, and honor the women who stood beside her. Both harrowing and inspiring, this story illuminates the courage of women whose sacrifices were long overlooked, asking what it truly means to serve, to survive, and to heal.
