Easy Virtue

Using the assumed name Larita Grey, Larita Filton has gone to the French Riviera to escape the scandal of a very public divorce. The scandal is due to a mistakenly believed to be love triangle involving her husband, Aubrey Filton, violent when he's drunk which is frequently, and Claude Robson, the painter commissioned to do her portrait. The more scandalous parts of the story are that Claude was killed under mysterious circumstances by a gunshot wound when both Feltons were present, and as Claude was indeed in love with her that he had left his entire estate to Larita. In France, Larita meets fellow Brit John Whittaker, the two who fall in love. In Larita agreeing to marry John and she not telling him of the divorce, the question becomes whether Larita can escape her past in this new life, especially in Larita and John being in the same social class.
