In Alice Chetwynd Ley’s last three novels, she turned to suspense and detection rather than romance, although still set in the Georgian period – interestingly, Georgette Heyer, to whose work ACL’s is often compared, also made the same switch. The principal characters of these novels were the Rutherfords: the Honourable Justin, son of Viscount Rutherford, and his attractive niece Anthea. The last of the three books ends with a hint that the two of them would visit Turkey, where Hugh Rutherford, Justin’s brother is in the diplomatic service. But, if a fourth book based in that part of the world was projected, it was not forthcoming.
