The death of a beautiful and talented pianist, Jane Ambrose, has Hero and Sebastian St. Cyr trying to determine how, why and who might have killed her. Her talent has helped her composer husband rise in fame in operatic circles and encouraged the talents of several young women including the princess. Hero's discovery of the body fills her with determination to know what happened to this lovely young woman. As the investigation unfolds, political intrigue swirls around the death as the two try to unravel what happened.

Both Hero and Sebastin escape assassination attempts but it is uncertain whether such an innocent and charming young woman could be involved. Since Jane had known Princess Charlotte and taught piano to her, the palace states that the death was an accident due to a fall on the icy streets of London but evidence points elsewhere.

I liked the charming portraits of the St. Cyr family that the author included as Hero and Sebastion exchange information and muse about the death. Others die as well but are these deaths connected in any way? It's a good read as the search fills in more and more pieces of the puzzle about the pianist's death until the reader learns what happened to Jane. This novel adds a most interesting plot to the Sebastion St. Cyr series.
