My second adult book of the summer. This is a great summer beach read. Emily does not want to get married but it is Victorian England and she has little choice. Her mother wants her to make a good match and is pressuring her. Emily decides to marry Philip, a wealthy Viscount, to make her mother happy but more importantly to get away from her mother. Within six months of getting married, Emily finds herself a widow. She is fine with that, she never really loved her husband and now she has money and freedom. Emily starts exploring her husband's house and finds out he loved Greek history and Greek artifacts. When Emily explores more she finds out that Philip may have been involved in the black market. She sets out to find out the truth about the husband she never really knew and what he was involved with. This is a good mystery and a fun backdrop of Victorian England, Paris and Greece. This is a light read and fun.
