‘I would not have people murdered only so that . I may investigate,” asserts 17-year-old Juliet Tilney, the precocious leading lady in Claudia Gray’s “The Late Mrs. Willoughby,” set in England in 1820. “But if murders take place regardless of my wishes, can it be wrong to seek answers? And if it is right to seek answers, then it cannot be entirely wrong to take some pleasure in doing so.”
