FIVE full-length standalone light historical mysteries in one volume! Join Cordelia, Lady Cornbrook and her eclectic household as she fights crime, unearths secrets, and fends off the advances of unsuitable men. These Victorian murder mysteries are set in Britain in the 1840s, and take a light, frothy look at the fun side of history. It's not quite Dickens. Maybe Dickens at a party after a few too many brandies. They are rooted in accuracy, though (there are author's notes at the back and everything, which makes it legit). In An Unmourned Man, we meet Cordelia for the first time. She's widowed, titled, entitled, and plunged into an exciting adventure which features a country doctor wearing only his shirt and breeches. There's callisthenics, a surly coachman, a cad with copious facial hair, laudanum and society balls. Riots and Revelations takes us to the grim north, which is all mills and rain and working class uprisings. There's a dashing cavalry officer and a passionate rabble-rousing Chartist, trouble at t'mill, wayward servants, night-time escapades with weaponry, and a large pig. In The House of Secrets and Lies returns Cordelia to London, and to the heart of British politics, which is actually more interesting than it sounds. Cordelia vows to stop a miscarriage of justice. But she is too rich to go into the lowest parts of Victorian London, too female to go into the clubs and coffee houses, and too scandalous to go to the parties and balls. The fourth book, Daughters of Disguise, leaves England and takes Cordelia and her household to Wales. It's a different country, with its own language, its own traditions, and its own history of justice. Cordelia has joined forces with the local constable, and together they are up against not only the murderer, but the local council ... and even the local people. And finally, in The Continental Gentleman, she confronts her past. It's not pleasant, but luckily she's armed with a short, stabby sword. It's late summer and Cordelia is rattling around her Surrey estate, annoying the servants and causing the gardeners to hide in the bushes. Her old friend – or nemesis – Hugo Hawke turns up, and he's closely followed by his own past. It's good news … at first. These novels contain innuendo but no graphic scenes or language, and may be considered clean and suitable for all readers.

What connects a jilted bride, the death of a miser, and an eccentric businessman? Fireworks – perhaps. Or maybe the answer is simple. After all, when old Mr Spenning died, his widow inherited everything. But she does not live a life of ease and luxury now. Instead, she huddles in a draughty old house on the wild east coast of England. She hates and shuns the locals; they return the sentiment. Lord and Lady Calaway are called to investigate the truth behind the miser’s death. It happened a year ago, and clues are rare, but other strange occurrences in the area suggest that the next victim could be closer to home. The answers lie in the deep dark waters of the Norfolk Broads – but stretch out to the British colonies in Hong Kong. The murderer knows the net is tightening and they have nothing more to lose. The truth is explosive. Literally. The Lady’s Scandalous Secret is the seventh book in Issy Brooke’s Victorian murder mystery series, The Discreet Investigations of Lord and Lady Calaway. If you are looking for authentic British history with a dash of humour and a traditional style, then you’ll love this new novel.

Did the Countess of Calaway’s innocent letter of enquiry cause a murder? When the body of a young craftsman is found dead, he is surrounded by articles belonging to an ancient local family which has sunk into decline. But those valuables went missing decades ago; this isn’t a straightforward case of theft gone wrong. As Lord and Lady Calaway investigate, they discover that what was stolen goes beyond silver cigar cases and fancy boxes. Names, identities, and even a man’s wife: a whole future has been taken and the victim didn’t seem to realise it. Theodore fights for justice, because he’s on the side of right. But Adelia fights for her conscience, because as the truth unravels, she realises she may have been wrong… How do you bring about true justice when everyone is guilty of something – even the detectives?

Adelia’s broken free of the restraints that Victorian society puts on a woman. By using her wit, unconventional intelligence and good humour, she’s risen to marry an earl who dotes on her; she’s raised and married off seven beautiful daughters; what more is there for her now? What, indeed. Adelia’s looking for a new adventure. She’s not ready for her twilight years of slumber just yet… Then her daughter’s friend is found brutally murdered in the grounds of Mondial Castle – in the company of a man who is not her husband. That man is the Marquis of Mondial but he’s also injured and obviously above suspicion. Yet his subsequent peculiar behaviour soon sets fashionable tongues wagging… Adelia negotiates the gossips of the drawing room while her husband Theodore wrestles with the other gentlemen and their foibles. Adelia and Theodore are shocked as they peel back layers of deadly secrets in the household of the castle but the truth at the heart of it threatens their own daughter’s marriage … and their whole family’s place in society. Unmasking the murderer is impossible alone but working as a team, they are unique. And unstoppable.

The Victorian era is an age of excursions. And for every hopeful holidaymaker, there are dozens of businesses hoping to sell them the trip of their dreams. Four such men, eager to make money, come together to offer fossil-hunting expeditions along the south coast of England. But ambition and greed soon rip the venture apart and it ends in violent murder. Unfortunately, the victim is killed right under the noses of Lord and Lady Calaway. It ought to be a simple case; the police order that no-one is to leave their large country house. The suspects are assembled. But each question unearths more unwelcome secrets from the past, and Adelia herself has to confront a love affair that she thought she’d put long behind her. As the revelations threaten to tear her marriage apart, the scandalous behaviour of her daughter Edith is rocking their position in society too. Beset on all sides, Adelia has to defy convention, defy the police … and defy her very own husband. She is used to fixing other peoples’ relationships. But if she can’t solve this murder, she might lose her marriage too… This is the fourth book in The Discreet Investigations of Lord and Lady Calaway. It is written in British English, which may use unfamiliar spellings, vocabulary and grammatical structures. Enjoy with a nice cup of Earl Grey tea and perhaps a biscuit.
