An omnibus of novels by Eve Tarrington
Louisa-Margaretta Haddington and Judith St Clair were once enemies. Can they look past their quarrels to look more closely into spectacularly mysterious events in these three thrilling tales?
Book 4: Two Spinsters and a Thief
When a visit from a duke and an exiled painter ends in murder, Judith and Louisa-Margaretta must find the culprit before the magistrate hauls them away.
Miss Louisa-Margaretta Haddington is set on repairing her reputation in society. She’s determined to make her first love, Isaac, regret his choice to marry another. Previously an indifferent hostess, she sets about giving a visiting duke the house party of his life while making sure that his prized portrait is not stolen.
Miss Judith St Clair, entertaining a marriage proposal that could break up her family, tries not to take on Louisa-Margaretta’s troubles. But soon, the two friends must find a way to save their reputations and their lives. And with Louisa-Margaretta’s troubled recklessness and Judith’s natural reticence, saving their hearts will be nearly as difficult.
Book 5: Two Spinsters and an Assassin
When Judith and Louisa-Margaretta retreat to Russia, they must act quickly when someone begins to attack the royal family.
Louisa-Margaretta Haddington must find a husband immediately or face the gravest scandal. But when someone begins to systematically attack members of the royal family, she knows that even ballrooms are no longer safe.
Judith St Clair, who is just as concerned about these incidents, is also worried for her own future. Her fiance, Mr Ramsbury, is at the Congress of Vienna, helping decide the fate of all Europe, but he’s stopped answering Judith’s letters. She has more pressing troubles as the would-be assassin closes in, especially when it becomes clear that even Judith and Louisa-Margaretta are in danger.
The two friends, for all their experience finding murderers, are lost in St Petersburg’s chilly streets and cozy drawing rooms. But they must rely on each other and all the local allies they can find, for if the assassin turns on Emperor Alexander, the fate of many nations will hang in the balance.
Book 6: Two Spinsters and a Villain
A Regency-era opera house sees more than its share of drama when its imposing patron is murdered.
Louisa-Margaretta Haddington, back from Russia, is eager to find a theatre for her future husband’s operatic debut. Judith St Clair is in London trying to get help for her own fiance, who has vanished on a diplomatic mission. But when her cousin is accused of murder, Judith must intervene immediately. The theatrical world is full of secrets, and the actors are both secretive and skilled.
As Louisa-Margaretta and Judith attempt to find the killer, rumors fly in Europe that Napoleon Bonaparte has returned and is raising an army. As all London descends into panic, the two friends must unravel the best-kept secrets of the opera world in order to save both Jasper and themselves.
