Summary
A historical mystery novel set in 1867 on the Isle of Wight, where Queen Victoria and the royal family are staying at Osborne House. Dr. Julia Lewis, a pioneering woman physician, arrives on the island for a holiday but becomes involved in a suspicious death when she is asked to conduct an autopsy on a young servant connected to the royal household. As she and a Scotland Yard inspector investigate the circumstances surrounding the death, the inquiry reveals possible murder, political tensions involving Irish nationalism, and rumors of a threat to the monarch. The novel combines elements of historical fiction and detective mystery while portraying social and political conditions in Victorian England.
