Another well-written book by Robin Paige. A day at the races, which was to be a fun day for the Sheridans turns to disaster with the death of a jockey. Charles is asked to investigate this case. Kate proceeds to visit the actress Lili Langtry at her estate; to do an interview to be published. Lili turns out to be nothing like Kate expects, Charles finds himself in the middle of a horse doping scandal, and the solving of mysteries begins. These books keep you interested from the first page as there is the main plot, but many subplots as well. Extremely good look at historical Victorian times is also interesting. Recommend highly!!

The 7th installment in this Victorian mystery series. An interesting view of Victorian Life and the history of doping race horses. The practice appears to have originated in the Americas and spread to England during Victoria's reign.

More like the earlier Anne Perry books, definitely better than Perry's later Charlotte and Pitt later ones

It's Derby day at Epsom Downs, and Lord Charles Sheridan is on hand to photograph the race with his new camera - while his wife, Kate, watches from the stands. It's a thrilling day for both Sheridans - until the race ends with a jockey's death. With her husband busy investigating, Kate retreats to the countryside to interview world-renowned actress Lillie Langtry for a magazine article. Plunging into her subject's less-than-illustrious past, Kate puzzles over the long-ago theft of the actress' jewels - and is not surprised when Charles' investigation heads in Langtry's direction. Now, sorting through rumors of bitter rivalries and torrid love affairs, the lord and his lady embark on a race for justice that stands to be a photo finish...
