Milestone Agency Victorian Mysteries

Rose Miles was young, wealthy, recently widowed and bored out of her mind. Theodore Stone was trying to find a way to avoid joining the family business. When their paths crossed in dramatic fashion, it seemed logical for them to join forces -- and the Milestone Investigative Agency was the result.

Asked to stop an elderly relative making a fool of himself by marrying a servant, Theo and Rose soon find the Milestone Agency involved in a case of murder where everyone seems to be hiding a secret. How genuine is Harold Wright's love for the young woman he rescued from a life of poverty? Is Violet as innocent as she appears to be? And more importantly, who wants to make sure the wedding never takes place?

Truth can be stranger than fiction, as Rose Miles and Theo Stone discover when the success of Theo's first published novel leads the Milestone Investigative Agency into a case involving a packing crate with unusual contents, a runaway girl terrified into silence and a businessman with a guilty secret. 'Oxford Brass' is the second book in the Milestone Agency Victorian series.

It seemed a simple job for the Milestone Investigative Agency – find an undergraduate who had failed to write home since arriving in Oxford. But nothing about student Felix Burton was quite as it first appeared, and Rose Miles and Theodore Stone soon find themselves involved in the biggest gamble of their lives.
