An Impertinent Heiress
(2026)(The first book in the Isabella Hartwell Society Mystery series)
A novel by Sarah F Noel
A Victorian country-house murder mystery introducing Isabella Hartwell, a sharp-minded American heiress who refuses to accept appearances at face value when a lord is found dead and suspicion falls on her.
Isabella Hartwell has crossed the Atlantic for reasons entirely unrelated to finding a titled husband. Society may assume she has come to England to buy herself a coronet, but Isabella wants something far more dangerous. She wants adventure.
At Banbury Hall, a country estate filled with aristocrats, gossip, and private tensions, Isabella quickly realises she may have been invited for reasons other than mere hospitality. Then, after a heated quarrel, Lord Ravensmere is found dead, and Isabella finds herself at the centre of suspicion.
Refusing to be sent back to New York in disgrace, Isabella begins an investigation of her own. With the formidable Dowager Countess of Pembroke at her side, she starts to uncover a web of lies, rivalries, and financial secrets that someone is willing to kill to protect.
Sparkling, sly, and full of intrigue, An Impertinent Heiress introduces Isabella Hartwell, a heroine with a sharp tongue, a sharper mind, and no intention of letting polite society dictate her fate. Perfect for readers of the Tabitha & Wolf series and fans of Deanna Raybourn.
