Death of a Governess
(2025)(Book 12 in the Riley Rochester Investigates series)
A novel by Wendy Soliman
Victorian England – Summer 1874
When a governess is found murdered in her employer’s locked garden, Detective Chief Inspector Lord Riley Rochester concludes that someone within the household must be culpable. But her employer and his family were not in residence at the time the crime was committed and on the face of it have no reason to wish Miss Porter dead.

As a high-ranking member of the aristocracy himself, Riley is torn between class loyalty and his duties as a senior officer in Scotland Yard’s highly contentious Detective Department.
When a second murder occurs, Riley knows that he must act fast and decisively to prevent further needless deaths. Can he get to the truth and bring the killer to justice before powerful men join forces to hamper his investigation and protect their own interests …
