(2026)(A book in the Duchess of Stortford Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Helen Golden
Secrets, scandals and society's most inconvenient murders await...
Victorian high society has its rules. A duchess should host elegant dinners, attend glittering balls, and politely ignore anything remotely scandalous.
Alice, Duchess of Stortford, has other ideas.
When murder, missing heirs and whispered secrets threaten the lives of those around her, Alice refuses to look the other way. Armed with a sharp mind, a dry wit, and the loyal support of her maid Maud, her dependable footman George and her childhood friend Lord Rushton, she proves time and again that good manners and good detective work make an unexpectedly formidable combination.
Step into the glittering world of Victorian England, where country house parties hide deadly secrets, family fortunes are won and lost behind closed doors, and every polite conversation conceals another clue. Filled with clever mysteries, sparkling wit, memorable characters and irresistible period charm, these are the first three books in bestselling The Duchess of Stortford Mysteries—a series you'll never want to leave.
