This was another book that I found this book by accident and it turned out to be really good. Anne Perry has become one of my favourite authors, she tackles some challenging issues and her books are consistently good, but this is still one of my favourites.
A brilliant architect called Killian Melville has to depend on Sir Oliver Rathbone to represent him when he is charged with "breach of promise" to marry Zillah. Rathbone. Zillah seems to be a most suitable choice, but Melville insists that he did not ask her to marry him and he is not willing to marry. He will not do anything to hurt or shame Zillah even if it is the only way to save himself. There is a baffling and complex history to this case and the lives of everyone involved will be devastated by the tragic conclusion to the case. This is book about identity, about things not being as they seem and about social pressure.
