Who murdered an elderly woman and cut the throat of her maid? Is the artist interested in Lord Danvers' younger sister a good match or is the distrust of other family members deserved? And what secret is his wife Antonia keeping from him?
To Dust You Shall Return is the third installment of Lord Danvers Investigates by Donna Fletcher Crow, which not only is set in Victorian England, but has the main characters help solve a true crime story from that era. In this case, it is the above mentioned death of elderly Catherine Bacon.
The mystery is well written. There is some edge of the seat excitement in this tale. The characters are interesting as well: I enjoy the appearances of Lord Danvers' butler Hardy and the Dowager Duchess. My only squabble, and it is a small one, is if the main character of the Lord Danvers Investigates series is Lord Danvers or Lady Antonia? And I mean it when I say it's a minor squabble. I have enjoyed this series (as well as Crow's other mystery series Elizabeth and Richard Literary Suspense and the Monastery Murders), and am looking forward to the next one.
