The Wordsworth Key — Julia Golding
'A rip-roaring, helter-skelter adventure careening breathlessly through Regency society… An uproarious delight ' Historical Novel Society
1812 The Lake District
Despite their attempts to keep their forbidden romance away from the disapproving eyes of society, Dr Jacob Sandys and his lover, the actress Dora Fitz-Pennington, find themselves drawn into the scandals of the British elite once more when William Wordsworth's prized notebook of unpublished poems goes missing.
When news arrives of a disturbing murder in London " a body pulled from the Thames with a shepherd's crook wedged in the victim's mouth " Dora and Jacob are compelled to investigate.
What links a poet's stolen treasure to a high-society murder? And will Dora and Jacob's love weather the storm, or will dark secrets doom their happiness
Praise for Julia Golding
