Now, I picked up this book because of similarities to the Lady Julia Grey series. His warning, along with other unfortunate incidents unnerve Emily, but she resolves to continue on with the help of Lord Andrew Palmer. When Colin finds out that Emily is making enquiries of her own he politely asks her to stop her investigations for her own good. Her suspicions are further bolstered when her late husband’s friend Colin Hargreaves begins to ask her questions about certain art pieces her husband might have owned. However when she discovers some notable pieces of art in her husband’s art collection, and discovers that similar pieces in the Museum are but copies of the originals, and that the Museum Curator is unaware of this fact, she suspects that her husband may have been involved in some shady deals. With her burgeoning knowledge, she realizes also that the husband she never knew was deeply in love with her, and is distraught at the fact that she has not appreciated the man when he was alive. As she delves deeper she finds herself interested in many of the same subjects and begins her own quest for knowledge. In mourning she finds her husband’s journal and learns about his penchant for collecting art and artifacts. Having been married to her husband wealthy Lord Philip Ashton only a short while before his death in Africa, she knows very little about him her having married him having been a matter more of convenience than of love.
