Perfect for you if...

  • You love Victorian mysteries where the romantic tension crackles as hard as the detective work.
  • You're invested in series characters and want to see how Hadrian and Tilda's partnership evolves beyond book three.
  • You enjoy stories where magic exists in the margins, hidden from polite society but essential to solving the case.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone mysteries without ongoing character arcs across multiple books.
  • You want your paranormal elements front and centre rather than woven subtly into a crime plot.
  • You're not drawn to fake marriage tropes or love triangles, even when they're emotionally complicated.

About this book

Private investigator Matilda Wren poses as the wife of Inspector William Maxwell from the City of London Police to infiltrate a burial club scheme. When the club's administrator is murdered, Tilda seeks help from Hadrian Becket, Earl of Ravenhurst, her usual partner and the person she trusts most. Hadrian possesses an uncanny ability to glimpse others' memories—a supernatural gift he must conceal from Maxwell. Hadrian, disgruntled at being sidelined, finds a way to involve himself in the investigation. Working the case under Maxwell's watchful eye proves challenging, especially as Maxwell's growing interest in Tilda awakens unexpected jealousy in Hadrian. When danger escalates, Hadrian will risk revealing the secrets he has kept hidden to protect Tilda. This Victorian mystery follows Matilda Wren and Hadrian Becket as they investigate crimes across London, from the east end streets to Mayfair's ballrooms, working to answer questions and secure justice.
