Ottilia Draycott is brought in as the new lady's companion to Sybilla, Dowager Marchioness and soon finds herself assisting younger son, Francis Fanshawe in his investigations.

But Ottilia, the intrepid 'Lady Fan', finds her curiosity piqued when she hears of a local murder. A young woman predicted the gruesome death of the village blacksmith.

THE OPIUM PURGE Lord Francis and Lady Ottilia Fanshawe are preparing for the birth of their first child. But Lady Fan won't let a little thing like pregnancy get in the way of solving a local mystery. Their neighbour - Sir Joslin Cadel - who recently returned from a sugar plantation in Barbados, has collapsed and died on his doorstep. And his young ward, Tamasine Roy, claims to have murdered him. With Tamasine clearly suffering from some kind of mental disorder, and the rest of Cadel's household acting suspiciously, it is obvious all is not as it seems. Why did Sir Joslin suddenly return to England? What happened to Tamasine's parents? Could this seemingly angelic young woman really be a murderess...?

Full of danger and intrigue this is a historical cozy that fans of the genre will not want to miss' - Debbie's Book Bag 'A light upstairs-downstairs affair with clever dialog. Georgette Heyer is a strong influence on Bailey, and Bailey does it well, deftly mixing her detecting with a gentle romance. Terrific crossover appeal for Georgian romance readers who crave a corpse with their love stories.' - Library Journal 'a lively, entertaining read and the start of an engaging Georgian England series' - The Poisoned Pen 'has the scenery and the upstairs-downstairs characters down pat' - Kirkus Review 'a charming Regency romantic amateur sleuth starring a wonderful intelligent heroine. The story line engages the reader in the mystery while the romance between "Fan" and "Tillie" enhances the investigation. Sub-genre readers will want Tillie and Fan working future inquiries' - The Mystery Gazette 'The late Regency writer Georgette Heyer lives--and she's writing mysteries as Elizabeth Bailey!' - Meritorious Mysteries

The fourteenth century was a time of fabled crusades and chivalry, glittering cathedrals and grand castles. It was also a time of ferocity and spiritual agony, a world of chaos and the plague. Here, Barbara Tuchman masterfully reveals the two contradictory images of the age, examining the great rhythms of history and the grain and texture of domestic life as it was lived: what childhood was like; what marriage meant; how money, taxes and war dominated the lives of serf, noble and clergy alike. Granting her subjects their loyalties, treacheries and guilty passions, Tuchman recreates the lives of proud cardinals, university scholars, grocers and clerks, saints and mystics, lawyers and mercenaries, and, above all, knights. The result is an astonishing reflection of medieval Europe, a historical tour de force.

‘Shroud will not be easily surpassed for its combination of wit, moral complexity and compassion. It is hard to see what more a novel could do’ Irish Times Dark secrets and reality unravel in Shroud, the second of John Banville's three novels to feature Cass Cleave, alongside Eclipse and Ancient Light. Axel Vander, distinguished intellectual and elderly academic, is not the man he seems. When a letter arrives out of the blue, threatening to unveil his secrets – and carefully concealed identity – Vander travels to Turin to meet its author. There, muddled by age and alcohol, unable always to distinguish fact from fiction, Vander comes face to face with the woman who has the knowledge to unmask him, Cass Cleave. However, her sense of reality is as unreliable as his, and the two are quickly drawn together, their relationship dark, disturbed and doomed to disaster from its very start.
