The Dead Duke, His Secret Wife, and the Missing Corpse: An Extraordinary Edwardian Case of Deception and Intrigue by Piu Marie Eatwell

3.0

I bought this for it’s great title! I thought it would be fiction but it turned out to be a true story about the 5th Duke of Portland and the court case that claimed that he was also Charles Druce, furniture maker! It could have done with a good final edit as I found myself skimming through some of the minor characters’ details but it was a fascinating story and I definitely want to visit the underground tunnels and rooms at Welbeck Abbey 3 1/2 stars
