Murder at Kensington Palace

Charlotte Sloane draws political cartoons in Regency London under the name A.J. Quill, and the Earl of Wrexford is the one man who knows it. Since she told him the truth about her background, something has shifted between them, and she has stepped back to give the strain room to ease.

Then her cousin is murdered, and his twin brother is accused of the killing. Charlotte goes straight to Wrexford, a brooding scientist, to help clear the young man's name. He is as intense and hard to read as before, but their partnership now carries a tension neither of them knows how to handle.

The search for the real killer takes them through the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Mayfair, where gossip and rumor blur the facts. Each thread they pull seems to knot another one. This is a historical mystery with a romance running through it, and the murders are described as shocking and gruesome.

The case has a deadline. A killer driven by madness is still free, and another victim may be chosen before Wrexford and Charlotte work out who is behind the deaths.
