Letty — Norah Lofts

Mrs. Rowan's House was officially a coffee house.But the serving girls were unusually pretty-and extremely available to the male customers. It was no place for the shy,lovely Letty to grow up, and young Dr. Humphrey Shadbolt was determined to rescue her. -- But Humphrey's romantic adventure turned into a nightmare of growing danger, then crime-ultimately a sinister climax in a night of fog,terror, and murder.

The color and dash of the rakish days of the Regency and the bittersweet tension of young love combine to make LETTY one of Norah Lofts most sucessful historical romances
