Some changes in my circumstances mean I will not have the time I thought I would to finish the fourth book when I wanted. In fact, I will be going on hiatus. That does not mean the series is finished. I’m not deleting my progress with book four, just shelving it for a bit. I know it’s not fun news to hear. It’s not fun to share either. I debated about this decision for a long time, but ultimately, this is the best choice for me and my family. I appreciate your patience. When the series is ready to resume, I will announce it first to newsletter subscribers and then on his website and my socials. I hope, then, you will be as excited to continue with Samantha’s and Wyatt’s adventures as I will be.

The audiobook for An Exhibition of Malice is now available on Audible, Audiobooks.com, and many other audiobook platforms.

The Samantha and Wyatt Mysteries, Book 3

Everything comes at a cost

London, 1862. Now that London's most notorious criminal has set his sights on her, navigating the scandal-mongers and fortune hunters of society is the least of Samantha's problems. Yet, even the looming threat of Skinny Jim won't stop her from finding ways to put her new inheritance to good use. But when one of her philanthropist friends is found dead in what police say was a robbery gone wrong, she's certain he was murdered, and she thinks she knows who did it. To find out, she'll need the help of the man whose proposal she rejected—a man she is beginning to think she can't live without.

V.T. Wyatt would love nothing more than to win Samantha over, but first he needs to keep her alive—which would be a lot easier if she didn't walk headlong into danger. As Samantha and Wyatt find themselves drawn into a web of blackmail and deception, they must decide what price they are willing to pay to protect their secrets.

But when Samantha stumbles across the body of someone she recognizes and in whose death she fears she may have played a part, keeping their distance becomes impossible. Working together once again, Samantha and Wyatt must solve a murder that grows more complicated with every clue they uncover.

The Samantha and Wyatt Mysteries, Book 1

On the run, a world away from all she's ever known

London, 1861. Samantha Kingston has lived under the control of her overbearing uncle since the death of her parents six years ago. Trapped by the conventions of her gender and social class, she is desperate to find a way out. But when her aunt and uncle are murdered, the freedom she sought seems even further out of reach. A suspect in the crime, she finds herself on the run, unsure whom to trust, lost in the underworld she had only ever read about in the pages of a Dickens novel.

V.T. Wyatt has defied his aristocratic upbringing to pursue a life as a private investigator. After an unusual first meeting, he hires Samantha to help him solve a rash of burglaries. Soon, a connection between the burglaries and the murders emerges, drawing Samantha and Wyatt even closer together as they race to solve both mysteries and clear her name.
