Summary
All Mayfair is abuzz when Lady Lavinia Gregor announces that has discovered the secret identity of Lady Whistledown and plans to unmask her publicly at the Queen’s ball. But the night of the ball before she can reveal Whistledown’s identity, Lavinia is found murdered in the palace gardens. Lady Whistledown is the suspected killer, but no one knows her identity, and even more chaos is unleashed when the only witness, Penelope Featherington, is found unconscious in the ensuing chaos. Colin returns from his travels in Scandinavia bearing a letter from Penelope, only to find she does not even remember writing him—and with her memory loss, believes him to be still engaged to Marina. While Eloise is distressed for reasons she will not confide, Colin realizes the only witness to what truly befell Lavinia is his childhood best friend, who is confused and in the throes of a new courtship. Colin is convinced the key to all is Lady Whistledown, but the notorious scribbler has gone silent. Now Colin must find what has happened to Lady Whistledown and uncover Lavinia’s murderer before Penelope becomes the next victim, and also as he begins to realize that his feelings for his friend may not be what he once thought...
