A Husband Is Hushed Up is the latest novel from author Helen Golden. It is the second book in the The Duchess of Stortford Mysteries series.
A fatal fall. A duchess determined to uncover the truth. And absolutely no time for tea.
Fenshire, 1891. It was meant to be a birthday celebration in the country—cucumber sandwiches, polite conversation, and maybe a waltz or two. But when the Duke of Stortford is found dead at the foot of the stairs everything goes dreadfully sideways. The police declare it a tragic accident, but his wife, Alice, has her doubts. After all, only hours before, the Duke had promised to make a go of their marriage. Now he’s inconveniently deceased.
Driven by a need for answers and helped by her fiercely loyal maid Maud, her observant footman George, and her childhood friend Lord Rushton, Alice sets about uncovering the truth. But as she navigates a house full of secrets, simmering tensions, and more than one guest with murderously bad manners, her suspect pool grows to include those closest to her. Can she piece together the truth? Or will her husband’s murderer get away with it after all?
The guests are leaving. The killer is among them. Time is running out…
A Husband Is Hushed Up is a fun and enjoyable read. It’s the second book in a series, but it works well as a standalone. It’s your classic whodunnit, laced with lots of humour and fun plot threads that keep you guessing.
If you love whodunnit stories, humour and books set in the Victorian era, then this book is absolutely everything you could want in a story.
