Lady Audley's Secret is a thrilling page-turner portraying evil intentions and murderous schemes amidst Victorian gender conventions and class structure. It was an instant bestseller upon first publication in 1862.
When newcomer Lucy Graham, a young and beautiful governess, meets the village's wealthy widower, Sir Michael Audley, he is immediately smitten. The couple marry, and Lucy's fortune and position are completely changed. Nobody really knows where she came from or where she grew up, but Lucy is now universally loved.
Sir Michael's nephew Robert is the only one who harbours a few suspicions and wants to find out more. What shadows might lurk in Lucy's past? Why has Robert's close friend George Talboys vanished all of a sudden, and does the new Lady Audley have something to do with it?
Madame Bovary, Lady Chatterley's Lover and Jane Eyre are also available in this Macmillan Collector's Library series of gorgeous paperbacks featuring four of the most scandalous novels ever published.
