A Murderous Business (2025)
(Harriman & Mancini Mystery, book 1)
Cathy Pegau
"A fresh and engaging mystery set in 1910s New York. Margot Harriman is making the transformation from boss's daughter to head of the company when she discovers a dead body and a mysterious note at the office. Readers will root for Margot, as her pursuit of the truth leads her to aspiring investigator Rett Mancini and Shiloh, a captivating magician's assistant with a way with locks and human hearts."

The Case of the Missing Maid (2024)
(Harriet Morrow, book 1)
Rob Osler
"A complete delight. A vivid portrait of 1890s Chicago in all its zest and cruelty with a wonderfully relatable heroine. Rob Osler skillfully weaves the fate of lovely Polish maid Agnes Wozniak with the story of the Prescott Agency's first female detective coming into her own. I demand more Harriet Morrow this instant!"

The Romanov Brides (2024)
Clare McHugh
"I truly could not put this book down. Clare McHugh is a genius at finding new dramatic narratives in the history of Queen Victoria's tragic descendants...Each character in this glittering royal tapestry is fresh and vivid, as they navigate the complex personal dynamics that will change the course of history. Utterly addictive!"
