Unnatural Fire (2000)
(Countess Ashby De La Zouche, book 1)
Fidelis Morgan
"A wildly funny book... If you like to laugh a great deal when you read historical crime then this debut romp by an incisively witty writer is for you."
The Complaint of the Dove (1999)
(Robert Fairfax, book 1)
Hannah March (Tim Wilson)
"Well written with a great deal of self-assurance. I liked the period detail and the characterization of the large cast of suspects."
