Lady in the Shadows

Descriere

One spring in 1842, Grace woke up in the poor East End of London. Twenty years of living in modern society, and ten years of living in the Regency period, seemed like a dream, making it difficult to distinguish reality from fiction. At this moment, Grace is in a difficult situation. The mother had just given birth to twins and was frail, and the father had broken his leg at work. Without work, there is no way to make ends meet. Everything seems to point to the original sin of poverty. Forced to make a living, Grace had to dress up as a man, alias Graham, by chance, became the Duke of Essex's steward. The handsome young Duke of Essex has a very mysterious ancestor and a lot of money, but he himself has a very unaristocratic special hobby - detective! In this way, Grace, the head steward dressed as a man, and her employer embark on a wonderful life journey. She not only has to manage the huge manor and minions, but also after being involved in strange murder cases repeatedly, became the best partner of the duke. From poison tricks to body parts, she takes on serial killers and international criminal organizations in the Victorian fog for a penny.
