This was an engrossing read for me.I loved Eleanor!  On the run from an abusive husband, she seeks refuge with her sister.  She's no simpering young woman.  She's over thirty, witty and really smart.  She meets Sir Hilary St. John and the sparks fly.  I really enjoyed their witty banter, neither let the other have the upper hand for long.There is a mystery/crime element here, as well as romance. Eleanor is accused of murder and there is a trial.  The trial was pretty interesting, "justice" really didn't require much evidence back then. I liked reading about Hilary and his crew working to discover evidence to free Eleanor.
