A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder (A Countess of Harleigh Mystery Book 1)

In this exciting historical mystery debut set in Victorian England, a wealthy young widow encounters the pleasuresâ€”and scandalous pitfallsâ€”of a London social season . . .
Â
Frances Wynn, the American-born Countess of Harleigh, enjoys more freedom as a widow than she did as a wife. After an obligatory year spent mourning her philandering husband, Reggie, she puts aside her drab black gowns, leaving the countryside and her money-grubbing in-laws behind. With her young daughter in tow, Frances rents a home in Belgravia and prepares to welcome her sister, Lily, arriving from New Yorkâ€”for her first London season.
Â
No sooner has Frances begun her new life than the ghosts of her old one make an unwelcome appearance. The Metropolitan police receive an anonymous letter implicating Frances in her husbandâ€™s death. Frances assures Inspector Delaney of her innocence, but sheâ€™s also keen to keep him from learning the scandalous circumstances of Reggieâ€™s demise. As fate would have it, her dashing new neighbor, George Hazelton, is one of only two other people aware of the full story.
Â
While busy with social engagements on Lilyâ€™s behalf, and worrying if Reggie reallyÂ wasÂ murdered, Frances learns of mysterious burglaries plaguing Londonâ€™s elite. The investigation brings death to her doorstep, and Frances rallies her wits, a circle of gossips, and the ever-chivalrous Mr. Hazelton to uncover the truth. A killer is in their midst, perhaps even among her sisterâ€™s suitors. And Frances must unmask the villain before Lilyâ€™s seasonâ€”and their livesâ€”come to a most unseemly end . . .
