Bleeding Heart Square

Lydia Langstone was brought up in a prosperous London household, with all the comforts that money could buy. But after she flees her abusive marriage, she is forced to take refuge in a decrepit building in Bleeding Heart Square. As she begins a new life in a neighborhood often hostile to the gentry, she finds herself entangled in a sinister mystery haunting her new home. Full of twists and turns, period detail, and rich characters, Taylor's compelling mystery will delight readers of Anne Perry and other historical mystery fiction.
