(2025)(A book in the Penrose & Pyke Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Rose Pascoe
A box set of Books 6-8 in a delightful, twisty Victorian mystery series. Penrose & Pyke are looking forward to marital bliss, if only they can make it up the aisle and get through the honeymoon. But family troubles, both old and new, propel them into new investigations.
In Book 6, Murder Ignited, Penrose and Pyke’s wedding dream turns to ashes when the local women’s refuge goes up in flames. The discovery of a woman’s body in the smouldering ruins rouses Grace and Charlie’s detective instincts. With marital bliss on their minds, an investigation is the last thing they need. But how can they ignore a double murder with links to the opium trade?
In Book 7, Murder Over Gold, Penrose and Pyke’s honeymoon takes a dangerous turn when they investigate the most notorious robbery in Central Otago history. Rumour has it that the Pyke family knows more about the robbery than they are telling. With a fortune in gold still missing, and destitute miners on the prowl, the tranquillity of their honeymoon is about to be shattered.
In Book 8, Empty Cradle, a kidnapped baby might be the final straw for Grace’s fragile health. But how can Charlie turn down the desperate parents, when they have struggled for years to conceive only to have their baby snatched away? Besides, Charlie is their only hope, because the ransom note threatens their precious son’s life if they contact the police.
The Penrose & Pyke Mystery series is set during a remarkable period of social upheaval in 1890s New Zealand.
