Taking a break from his successful 'railway detective' series, the prolific Miles has
produced another Restoration period romp featuring architect Christopher Redmayne.
The painted lady of the title is Araminta Jewell, a woman so delectable that her
admirers have formed the Society for the Capture of Araminta's Maidenhead – nor
are they deterred by her marriage to the unappetising Sir Martin Culthorpe. Her
husband's death prompts Christopher to launch into fresh detective exploits. A lively
tale.
