Lady Audley's Secret is a novel by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, written in 1862.
Plot
Lady Audley is a beautiful blonde, who in the absence of her first husband had been forced by poverty to desert her child before marrying Lord Audley. When her first husband returns she kills him by accident in a row. Lord Audley's nephew happens to be a good friend of the old husband and decides to find out what happened to him.
