Beatrice Steele has moved to London, trusty chaperone Miss Bolton in tow, to open DS Investigations in partnership with Inspector Drake.
But business is slow as they face tough competition in Beatrice's former infatuation, the gentleman inspector Sir Huxley.
That is until a string of murders rattles the city and leads Beatrice and Drake to a tangle of bewildering ballrooms, secretive shops, and odd operas. Scandals and secrets will have to be uncovered if they want to find the murderer.
Frances Hazelton and her husband George are on holiday in Paris when they are asked to investigate the wealthy suitor of a friend's daughter, the widower Carlson Deaver. Though the wealthy American seems to have good intentions, only a year ago, his wife had been found murdered, and the crime remains unsolved.
A surprising break in the case might just lead to the Hazeltons uncovering the truth. They just hope they solve the case in time before the next murder.
Judith St. Clair and Louisa-Margaretta Haddington find themselves in a bit of a pickle: one is trying to repair her reputation among good society, while the other is in the midst of ruining hers and breaking up her family in the process.
Things get worse when a visit from a duke and an exiled painter ends in murder. Suddenly, the two friends don't just have their reputations to worry over— if they don't find the killer, their lives might actually be in danger.
