In 1819 England, Alexandra Sinclair and her new husband, Benedict Nash, Viscount Litton, are celebrating their marriage at an outdoor reception. The celebration abruptly ends when children and their dogs discover a woman's body in the adjacent woods. The victim was a resident of The Home for Unfortunate Women, an establishment preparing former prostitutes for responsible work.After the death, local residents, who've always viewed their village as a safe haven from big-city crime, demand that the Home be closed. Alex, an ardent social reformer, immediately joins the Home board of directors, determined to keep the establishment open.More deaths follow, each victim in some way connected to the Home. So, the Home is forced to close. Yet the murders continue. The local constables seem incapable of finding the killer. That leaves Alex and two friends-one a fellow board member, the other a feisty former resident-to investigate. They must find this diabolical murderer before the three of them-the only remaining people in the area still associated with the Home-become the next victims.

Death of an Unfortunate Woman: An Alexandra Sinclair Mystery
Praise for Karen Hanson Stuyck: "Stylishly written and genuinely suspenseful." -Booklist on Fit to Die "This book will keep readers guessing until the final page... Stuyck has a winner on her hands." -Mystery Scene on Fit to Die "Stuyck... puts first things first, producing a solid mystery enlivened but not overpowered by family drama." -Kirkus Reviews on A Novel Way to Die "The mystery plot here is sufficiently involving... but the real draw is Stuyck's compelling portrait of a lethally dysfunctional family." -Booklist on A Novel Way to Die
