Murder at the Brightwell
1932. Amory Ames is glamorous, wealthy and unhappily married to notoriously charming playboy Milo. She willingly accepts a friend's plea for help in preventing his sister from meeting a similar matrimonial fate. So, Amory travels to The Brightwell, the sprawling seaside resort where a number of impeccably groomed, disreputable guests are holidaying. Champagne flows but the sparkle soon fades as a dark and unresolved quarrel surfaces leaving the luxurious hotel one guest short by morning. Can Amory find the killer in their midst before she, too, becomes a victim?
Death Wears a Mask
The unexpected reconciliation between Amory Ames and her reformed playboy husband Milo is still on a fragile footing when Amory is drawn into an investigation into the disappearance of valuable jewellery. Unable to say no to an old family friend, she agrees to help lay a trap to catch the culprit at a lavish masked ball. But when a guest is murdered, Amory is pulled even further into the enquiry.
A Most Novel Revenge
A mysterious summons from her cousin Laurel causes Amory Ames and her playboy husband Milo to set off post-haste for the Lyonsgate estate in the English countryside. The pair are surprised to discover an eccentric group of guests have been invited, echoing a party from seven years ago of wild young things which ended in tragedy. But someone wants the past to stay buried and they are desperate enough to turn to murder. It's up to Amory and Milo to sort through a web of scandal and lies to uncover the truth, and the identity of a killer.
The Essence of Malice
Milo and Amory Ames travel to Paris where they become embroiled in a mystery surrounding the sudden death of a famous parfumier. Helios Belanger died shortly before the release of his newest, highly anticipated perfume and some are convinced that his death was not due to natural causes. With the motives of industry rivals and the Belanger heirs to consider and the threat of danger surrounding them them, can the pair catch a killer before the scent goes cold?
