Short Synopsis
Victoria Hamilton presents Book 1 in the Gentlewoman's Guide to Murder series.

Full Synopsis
Scandal and slayings among Regency London's elite.

The shocking murder of Sir Henry Claybourne leaves Regency London shaken and horror-struck. But for genteel spinster Miss Emmeline St. Germaine, the crime slices far too close to home. Just hours before the knight's death she held a dagger to him, threatening him to stay silent as she rescued a scullery maid he had procured for his pleasure.

Did the man—or woman—who murdered the knight know of her visit? Her secret identity at risk, her reputation and life in jeopardy, Emmeline must solve the crime or face scandalous exposure and ruination, or worse—the hangman's noose—for a crime she did not commit.

"Heather Wilds delivers an intense narration that never slows down . . . The story is gripping, and with Wilds's performance, the audiobook becomes all the more exciting." -AudioFile

"[An] outstanding series launch . . . Hamilton expertly balances the page-turning detection with the story of a hypocritical society where women, whether they are scullery maids or orphans, rarely get to make their own decisions." -Publishers Weekly Starred Review
