A Fatal Waltz by Tasha Alexander - in the third novel of suspense featuring Lady Emily Ashton, she and Colin Hargreaves attend a house party at the estate of a powerful member of the British government. Lady Emily expects the event to be uncomfortable and tedious, as she despises the powerful Lord Fortescue, and attends only as a favour to her best friend Ivy, whose husband is a protege of Lord Fortescue. It certainly is uncomfortable - one of the other guests is Kristiana von Lange, an Austrian countess who has a past relationship with Colin. But the party is not tedious. Lord Fortescue is found murdered and Ivy's husband is arrested and charged with the crime. Lady Emily is determined to clear his name, and her investigation takes her to Vienna. There she must continue to deal with the countess and her husband, and she matches wits with an anarchist, all in a race to find the real murderer before Ivy's husband stands trial. In the end, Lady Emily must also trust the countess for Colin's safety as well. An intriguing murder mystery and lovely romance all in one!
