Summary:Â A Victorian sleuth Isabella Hartwell, a Gilded Age American heiress whose sharp mind, sharper tongue, and taste for adventure place her at the centre of a deadly aristocratic scandal, returns in her second adventure.
London society is still deciding what to make of Isabella Hartwell. She is wealthy, unmarried, American, and entirely too independent for comfort. When she attends an exclusive private event at Harrods, she expects spectacle, gossip, and perhaps a little matchmaking. She does not expect death.
At first, the tragedy appears to be a dreadful accident within the store’s glittering walls. But Isabella notices details others overlook and soon suspects that something far more deliberate has occurred.
As she investigates, she uncovers a world of concealed debts, private bargains, bruised pride, and respectable people desperate to keep ruin out of sight. In a society where everything has a price, even reputation can become a motive for murder.
With suspicion spreading through drawing rooms, showrooms, and back corridors alike, Isabella must discover who wanted the victim silenced before the killer decides that one impertinent heiress has seen far too much.
Perfect for readers who enjoy Gilded Age heiresses, witty female sleuths, Victorian historical mysteries, and murder beneath the polish of high society.
About the author:
The Tabitha & Wolf Mystery Series and its spin-offs, The Isabella Hartwell Society Mysteries and The Continental Capers of Melody Chesterton, are the kind of books I like to read on a lazy Sunday: historical mysteries featuring strong, intelligent, independent female characters. I’ve always enjoyed historical novels that highlight heroines attempting to remedy some of the injustices of the time. Whether it’s inequality for women, poor labour laws, or widespread poverty, my characters have to face the grim realities of their times head-on. But my books are also fun, filled with adorable orphans, exasperating dowagers, and charming, if somewhat roguish, heroes. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them.
