This story deals with a crime committed in the grounds of a country house, and the subsequent efforts of a clever young detective to discover the perpetrator. There is an amusing love interest and strong characterisation. The scene is laid in Paris and Hampshire.
MR. MISFORTUNATE
By MARJORIE BOWEN
(Author of ‘The Burning Glass’)
The story is of Young Mr. Misfortunate (as Charles Edward Stewart was styled by the Whigs of his time) after the disaster of the ’45 Scottish Expedition to his meeting with Clementina Walkinshaw in 1753.
It opens in Scotland, but is mainly placed in Paris and its environs, in palace and slum, with one change to Venice.
The theme is the little known adventures that led to the downfall of a cause and a man—the most lovable and unfortunate of all the lovable and unfortunate Stewarts.
