Step into 1897 Victorian London: Unravel Love and Intrigue with The Tabitha & Wolf Historical Mystery Series, where Mystery meets Romance with a splash of Humour. Tabitha was used to being a social pariah. Could her standing in society get any worse? Tabitha, Lady Chesterton, the Countess of Pembroke, is newly widowed at only 22 years of age. With no son to inherit the title, it falls to a dashing, distant cousin of her husband's, Jeremy Chesterton, known as Wolf. It quickly becomes apparent that Wolf had consorted with some of London's most dangerous citizens before inheriting the title. Can he leave this world behind, or will shadowy figures from his past follow him into his new aristocratic life in Mayfair? And can Tabitha avoid being caught up in Wolf's dubious activities? It seems it's well and truly time for Tabitha to leave her gilded cage behind for good!

At last, Tabitha and Wolf can relax and settle into newlywed bliss... or so they think. Just as they prepare to leave London for a quiet summer at the Pembroke Estate, an unexpected-and rather cryptic-invitation arrives. The notoriously flamboyant Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey, has personally requested their presence at Plas Newydd, his ancestral estate, accompanied by a desperate plea for their investigative skills. Intrigued, the couple agrees to a detour-with the ever-formidable dowager in tow, of course. But upon their arrival, it's not just the marquess' lavish theatrics and eccentric indulgences that catch them off guard. Another guest is in residence-none other than Empress Elisabeth of Austria, "Sisi" herself, who has taken refuge at Plas Newydd after receiving chilling threats against her life. Now, Tabitha and Wolf must unravel the danger that lurks within the marquess' gilded world-before their most illustrious charge becomes its next victim.

An elderly stranger from Grenada has arrived in England with letters from her grandfather, once a wealthy plantation owner, and from Hana, the house slave he married after emancipation. The letters speak of a promise: money placed with a Bristol charitable organisation to build a school in Grenada for the children of the formerly enslaved. The school was never built. Instead, the funds seem to have vanished into the so-called charitable world that now venerates Edward Colston as the city's greatest benefactor.
