His Quiet Devotion

London, 1889. Constance Ashby's husband is a quiet man. He is a surgeon. He is respected. He is careful with his coat. When the maid leaves without notice and without her wages, Constance does not accuse him. She does what a Victorian wife with a good mind and no legal standing can do. She keeps a diary. She investigates. She finds the letters in the drawing room, the watch in the coat, the patient in the file. Arthur does not deny any of it. He simply asks her what she intends to do. A Victorian historical mystery and an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller, told through a private diary by a woman who behaved impeccably and won.
