The Dead Duke, His Secret Wife, and the Missing Corpse: An Extraordinary Edwardian Case of Deception and Intrigue by Piu Marie Eatwell
5.0
So good! This case is crazier than a Dickens or Collins novel.
1) Eatwell writes great cliffhangers.
2) Regardless of the outcome of the Druce cases and whether the coffin is exhumed and we find out what's inside, the cast of characters (for some of these people should have gone on the stage) is bonkers. Only the Victorians/Edwardians could create so many real-life twists.
3) The US edition has an Epilogue - after the book was published in the UK, she got some more information about the Duke!
