This series should be read in order, as the plot unfolds in each subsequent novel. John and Julia decide to have a small wedding ceremony, for fear the Fieldhursts will try to annul the marriage. Then, the couple travels to Julia's home to meet her parents. Julia's family was underwhelmed with their new son-in-law. While there, John learns that Julia had an older sister, Claudia. However, she had married Lord Buckleigh and disappeared thirteen years ago. The only remainder was a blood-soaked shawl.

When Sir Thaddeus' groom is found with a slit throat, John decides to investigate. This is a unique story with many memorable characters. I could not read it fast enough.
