Annotation |
Once upon a time a young couple met and fell in love. You probably know that story, and how it ended (hint: badly). Only that's not how it ended at all. Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. I'm the oldest -- a certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. It's not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Their latest match, Duke Stephano, has had three previous wives, all of whom met unfortunate ends. At our betrothal ball I stumble upon Duke Stephano with a dagger in his chest. And when everyone around the Duke begins dying, I know I must uncover the killer.
