The Great Investigation of 1880
(2025)(The third book in the Great Victorian Romances series)
A novel by Lia Adams
Where ballroom elegance meets London’s darkest secrets
Agnes Rennell possesses every luxury: a mansion in St. James’s Square, wealth, connections, and jewels. But the one thing she cannot have is Detective Aindreas Caimbeul. She’s loved him from afar, yet to him, she seems invisible. If he does not come up to scratch by February 14th, she is determined to forget him forever.
Detective Caimbeul of Scotland Yard has, in fact, noticed Agnes—and his restraint is hanging by a thread. When an unexpected invitation arrives for the season’s most anticipated ball, he decides to attend, though his salary is no match for the haute ton. Thrust into Agnes’s arms by well-meaning friends, he finds himself alone with her at last. Will he flee, or finally surrender to his desire?
But a detective’s life is one of peril. When a guest is murdered at the Valentine’s ball, passion is forced to wait. Lost in the fog and intrigue of London, Aindreas is closing in on the most elusive gangster of his career while trying to woo Agnes. Yet the clues refuse to align.
The closer he gets to the truth, the more it seems Agnes is entangled in the darkness. With her heart and his reputation on the line, one wrong move could mean losing everything.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
