The Wordsworth Key

4.4(538)

A private notebook belonging to William Wordsworth disappears from the Lake District, and a murdered man is later found beside the Thames with a shepherd's crook placed as an apparent clue. Dora Fitz-Pennington and Jacob Sandys must discover why literary papers have become valuable enough to kill for.

The investigation connects poetic reputation, family privacy and the London market for manuscripts. Dora and Jacob's forbidden relationship complicates their work as the stolen text becomes a key to motives that reach beyond admiration for Wordsworth's poetry.
