Not All Widows Wear Black

Set in 1894, in Not All Widows Wear Black, independent, spirited Margaret Bell marries Thomas Bishop, a successful but complicated businessman. Thomas' vague background unravels when Margaret's father discovers his family secret. Thomas is soon implicated in two murders. Trapped in an abusive, poisonous marriage, Margaret is driven to secure her freedom. She renews an old friendship only to find herself in a new kind of trouble. Revenge, deceit and fraud fuel this Victorian tale of marriage and murder.
"Margaret Bell grew up with no intention of being defined by the rules of Victorian society. When she met and married Thomas Bishop in 1894, she entered the marriage confident her relationship with Thomas would replicate that of her parents, loving and thoughtful. Within months, the truth about her own marriage became clear. Thomas was more complicated than she ever imagined a man could be."
"Nineteenth century society held fast to its' rules. Margaret had been reared with them and knew the outcome for those who broke them. Being shunned by your peers for a lifetime was not something to take lightly. Revealing intimate details of marital life to family or friends was simply not done."
How will Margaret find her path to a new life?
