Lady Bridgerton meets Miss Marple meets The Thursday Murder Club in this charming, Victorian-set mystery series from bestselling and prolific author Colleen Gleason (who also writes historical mysteries as Colleen Cambridge).

The widowed marchioness of Darling has successfully married off all of her children, and her son’s wife is the new marchioness–making her the dowager, and giving her absolutely no responsibilities.

As a woman who was not born into the peerage, but, against the mores of Victorian London society wed Lord Darling in a love match thirty years ago, Lady Darling chafes at the restrictions of the gentility and is looking forward to her “retirement” to the country–at least until the grandchildren come along.

Unfortunately, fate has other plans for her. When an old friend implores her to sponsor her daughter into society, Lady Darling agrees.

A charming, thrilling, witty romp of a mystery series, the Lady Darling books will find fans with readers of historical cozies, Bridgerton, and The Thursday Murder Club.
