You may thoroughly enjoy it, it is definitely an Emilie Loring book (:

In this one, there is horse racing stables;
A contested inheritance thingy going on;
and
Really deep marital problems, with a typical vamp.
Typical class distinctions.

It is partially a 'spoiler' to say this, but I think there are those who may need to know that there is a very sad suicide in this one, that has nothing in it comforting at all.

It's one of the Loring books I don't like. Too... whatever it is.
Too much for me.
