Lady Odelia’s Secret

Lady Odelia’s Secret (2022) Jane Steen (Scott-De Quincy Mysteries)

Set in England in 1882.

As usual, I experienced the strange shock that it was my husband—my Justin—buried under the tall new monument, set apart within its own patch of closely scythed grass.

“What do you think?” I asked my sister.

“No railing?” She raised her eyebrows.

“I didn’t like the thought of Justin being put in a cage.”

I have no interest in marrying. And I find the idea of children repellent. Not children as people, you understand—I like them well enough if they’re pretty little things and reasonably well behaved—but the notion of bearing my own, of being tied to them, revolts me.

art has nothing to do with morality.
