Set in Bristol, England, A Burdened Woman follows Tabitha and Wolf as a murder investigation uncovers a broken promise tied to colonial wealth, charitable institutions, and a long-buried injustice.
Drawn into the case at Lady Arlene Archibald’s request, they learn that a man from Grenada has come to England bearing letters that point to funds once intended to build a school for the children of the formerly enslaved. When he is found dead before he can reveal the truth, the investigation turns toward the respectable world of Bristol’s charities, where reputation and legacy conceal troubling secrets.
As Tabitha and Wolf pursue the truth, they must confront a case in which moral obligation and personal unease sit uneasily alongside one another, and where the past continues to exert a powerful influence over the present.
Perfect for readers who enjoy Victorian historical mysteries featuring social history, moral complexity, and investigations shaped by legacy, injustice, and hidden truths.
Genre: Historical Mystery
