A young woman, Anothera Montmorency, is hired as companion to an elderly woman, but is soon thrust into a dangerous mystery when the old woman's ward, newly married, sends a strange message. Is the newlywed bride the victim of a modern Bluebeard? Or is something else going on? It doesn't help that the new bride's jilted ex is back from South America and getting in the way . . . Anothera takes matters into her own hands and visits the Villa Jane undercover to discover the truth. The Villa Jane (1929) is well-written, with humor, romance, and suspense.
