Caught in a Trap

"Caught in a Trap" by John C. Hutcheson is a story set in late 1800s London that follows the lives of friends Allynne Markworth and Tom Hartshorne as they navigate the tricky world of high society. Expect to read about social games, love, and maybe a little bit of right and wrong. Markworth, looking for a way out of debt, sets his sights on marrying Tom's sister who is very wealthy, Susan. Tom is known as a honest soldier, while Markworth is known as skilled at managing situations for his own benefit. As the story begins, we see Markworth's financial worries begin to show as he plans to secure his future by marrying Susan. The inclusion of the strong Dowager Mrs. Hartshorne and the mysterious Miss Kingscott adds layers to these relationships, promising a tale full of twists and turns.
