A Spot of Murder in Mayfair

A Cozy Regency Mystery of Love and Murder

Tea is meant to soothe, not identify a suspect, yet a gentleman expires on Lady Helena Foxe’s Mayfair carpet and helpfully leaves a note branding her a “THREAT.” How very considerate. With her Season already wobbling on the edge of scandal, Helena does what any sensible young lady would do: she starts a ledger, sharpens her tongue, and decides she would rather solve the problem than be “handled” by it.

Enter Elias Grant, a Bow Street man who insists on behaving like a caller, asking ruinous questions with impeccable calm and a frankly inadequate coat. The corpse leads to discreet letters, missing papers, and the sort of “debts” polite society pays to keep its secrets respectable. Helena stands to lose her family’s reputation, her sister’s prospects, and her own safety, all for the crime of noticing what everyone else prefers to ignore.

Perfect for readers who like Regency high society sleuthing, sharp banter, blackmail-soaked secrets, and tea served with side-eyes. Expect a full fair play mystery, non-gory danger, and a closed door slow burn romance with a happy for now ending. It works as a stand alone, but there is plenty more trouble waiting once you turn the last page, so go on, tap Look Inside.
