The Pit Town Coronet: A Family Mystery, Volume 3 (of 3)

Seventeen years have passed, and the Haggard family now stands in the glow of prosperity, but old secrets cast long shadows. Reginald Haggard, once a younger man wrestling with his family's hidden past, has become a pillar of his community and heir to aristocratic titles. His wife Georgie remains a figure of quiet grace, while their sons George and Lucius have grown into men shaped by the very mysteries their parents hoped to bury. But no family secret stays buried forever. The arrival of cousin Lucy Warrender, whose life has been marked by tragedy and dire circumstances, threatens to unravel everything the Haggards have built. As long-hidden truths surface and the consequences of past choices come due, Volume 3 brings this family mystery to its dramatic conclusion. C. J. Wills weaves together love, guilt, and the ruthless mathematics of inheritance to explore what happens when the past demands payment in the present. For readers who relish Victorian novels of secrets and social consequence, this final volume delivers the reckoning the Haggards have long dreaded.
