"When the dowager receives an unexpected invitation from Queen Victoria herself to attend a grand concert at the Royal Albert Hall, she suspects there’s more at stake than music. A foreign dignitary’s sudden death soon confirms it.
Confined to bed after a health scare, a very pregnant Tabitha must lend her sharp mind from afar, guiding Wolf and their new friend, the indomitable American heiress Isabella, through a maze of coded messages, vanished guests, and diplomatic whispers.
The trio must tread carefully as rumours swirl of anarchists, spies, and scandal within the highest circles. One wrong move could spark an international incident. They must act quickly, but discreetly, mindful of their reputations and of the trust placed in them by their sovereign.
Elegant, witty, and full of intrigue, A Lyrical Woman reunites readers with Tabitha, Wolf, and the formidable Dowager Countess of Pembroke in a tale of courage, cunning, and devotion to both family and Crown."
"London, 1898. The age of the motor-car has dawned, and Wolf is determined to embrace it. When he acquires one of the new mechanical marvels and enters one of England’s first great motor-car runs from London to Brighton, Tabitha is less than enthusiastic — particularly as she has other reasons to proceed with caution.
At Wolf’s insistence, she travels by train with the dowager to await his arrival at the finish line. But what should have been a day of triumph soon turns to dread when tragedy strikes the course, and Wolf finds himself accused of a fellow driver’s death.
Refusing to stand idly by, Tabitha and the dowager embark upon their own investigation, uncovering rivalries, jealousies, and whispered scandals among the competitors. As if that wasn't enough, Tabitha has to endure Lady Arlene Archibald, a woman from Wolf’s past, whose reappearance threatens to complicate matters in every possible way.
As engines cool and tempers flare, Tabitha must summon every ounce of investigative skill and patience to uncover the truth before her husband’s reputation and their future are wrecked beyond repair."
"Tabitha and Wolf have been invited to historic Salisbury for a scholarly lecture celebrating their recent discovery at Pembroke Castle. However, the occasion takes a dark turn when the lecturer is found dead beneath the towering ruins of Old Sarum.
As the couple begins to investigate, they are drawn into a labyrinth of ancient Druidic rites, shadowy Church intrigues, and secrets buried beneath the chalky plains. An excavation near Stonehenge uncovers more than bones, awakening old rivalries and new dangers.
In a landscape where myth and history intertwine, Tabitha and Wolf must navigate shifting allegiances and long-buried truths. As tensions rise and the past casts long shadows over the present, they race to uncover the killer before another body is claimed by secrets that are best left buried."
"Three captivating mysteries. One unconventional countess. A partnership forged in scandal and sharpened by danger.
Newly widowed at twenty-two, Tabitha, Lady Pembroke, is determined never again to be anyone’s pawn. Her late husband’s cousin and heir, Jeremy “Wolf” Chesterton, is a former thief-taker whose rough edges and razor intellect make him both an unlikely earl and an even less likely ally. Yet when murder intrudes upon London’s drawing rooms and country estates, it is Tabitha’s keen mind and Wolf’s streetwise instincts that form an irresistible, if occasionally frustrating, team.
In this richly atmospheric collection set at the dawn of the modern age, the pair navigate secrets, scandals, and social conventions from the gaslit alleys of London to the Highlands of Scotland. Along the way, they discover that the greatest mystery may be the one that lies between them."
"After their unexpected detour to Anglesey, Tabitha and Wolf are looking forward to a relaxing summer in Pembroke.
Now that Wolf has embraced his inheritance of the Pembroke title, he finds himself curious about its history. Tabitha surprises him by arranging a private tour of the Pembroke Castle ruins for what was supposed to be a lovely family day out. As they wander the castle grounds, listening to the stories told by the knowledgeable caretaker, Tabitha and Wolf make the shocking discovery of a dead body.
While there seems to be much local interest in explaining the corpse away as a victim of a freak accident, Tabitha can’t shake the idea that there is something far more sinister at work. As she and Wolf begin to investigate, they get pulled into not just a murder case, but a puzzle that is over seven hundred years old and involves the very first Earl of Pembroke.
Can Tabitha and Wolf uncover a murderer even as they find themselves pitted against shadowy forces, their every move watched and danger lurking where they least expect it?"
"Despite their best efforts, Melody and Rat found themselves powerless to prevent the crisis in Morocco from spiraling out of control, threatening to ignite the powder keg of tensions between Germany, France, and Britain.
With the specter of war looming, Britain is determined to expand its influence across Europe. After the Agadir Crisis, the preservation of Dutch neutrality, crucial for Britain’s access to Dutch ports, becomes an even more pressing concern. Rat, the new Secret Service Bureau operative, is dispatched to Amsterdam on a mission of the utmost importance- to untangle a puzzle that could decide the fate of Dutch neutrality.
Despite her significant contributions to her brother’s previous cases, Melody is frustrated; Rat is still not convinced that she should continue to be involved and is even trying to persuade Melody to return to London. To add to her frustration, the handsome yet exasperating Conte Alessandro Foscari insists on travelling with them.
Will this be Melody’s last Continental Caper, or will she solve The Amsterdam Enigma?"
"At last, Tabitha and Wolf can relax and settle into newlywed bliss… or so they think.
Just as they prepare to leave London for a quiet summer at the Pembroke Estate, an unexpected—and rather cryptic—invitation arrives. The notoriously flamboyant Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey, has personally requested their presence at Plas Newydd, his ancestral estate, accompanied by a desperate plea for their investigative skills. Intrigued, the couple agrees to a detour—with the ever-formidable dowager in tow, of course.
But upon their arrival, it’s not just the marquess’s lavish theatrics and eccentric indulgences that catch them off guard. Another guest is in residence—none other than Empress Elisabeth of Austria, 'Sisi' herself, who has taken refuge at Plas Newydd after receiving chilling threats against her life.
Now, Tabitha and Wolf must unravel the danger that lurks within the marquess’s gilded world—before their most illustrious charge becomes its next victim."
