A Body in the Ballroom
Book 1 in The Marchioness of Merritt Mysteries
London, 1891. The newly widowed Marchioness of Merritt is determined to return to society before her mourning period is officially over, despite her mother-in-law's disapproval. Her first event since Edmund's death is a glittering ball at the home of a notorious rake. But beneath the refreshment table, Eleanor finds a body—and a scandal that threatens to ruin the entire Season. With Scotland Yard baffled and the suspects all too polite to confess, Eleanor must navigate a minefield of blackmail, secret debts, and social hypocrisy to solve the crime. She never asked to be a detective, but as she discovers, the only way to survive the Season is to outwit the people who think she's just a woman in a mourning bonnet.
