The Counterfeit Heiress: A Lady Emily Mystery (Lady Emily Mysteries Book 9)
By Tasha Alexander
Paris – the city of romance. where Lady Emily
struggles to unmask a murderer amid a case of assumed identities and
shadowy figures. After an odd encounter at a grand masquerade ball, Lady
Emily becomes embroiled in the murder investigation of one of the
guests, a sometime actress trying to pass herself off as the mysterious
heiress and world traveller Estella Lamar. Each small discovery,
however, leads to more questions. Was the intended victim Miss Lamar or
the imposter? And who would want either of them dead? As Emily and her
husband try to make sense of all this, a larger puzzle begins to emerge:
No one has actually seen Estella Lamar in years, since her only contact
has been through letters and the occasional blurry news photograph. Is
she even alive? Emily’s investigation of this double mystery takes her
from London to Paris, where, along with their friend Cecile, she must
scour the darkest corners of the city in search of the truth.
