A dead husband. A secretive stranger. And a nosy widow with a knack for murder. When Laura Carlyle left behind high society for committee meetings and quiet cups of tea, she never imagined her next guest would bring gossip, grief—and a murder. Rebecca Farrell is certain her husband didn’t just drop dead. And Laura’s late husband, an ex-civil servant with far too many secrets, taught her exactly how to spot a lie. Luckily (or not), help arrives in the form of Sebastian Silver—silver-haired, sharp-suited, and possibly a conman. He knows things about Harry Farrell that no one else does. The question is: can he be trusted? From cosy drawing rooms to candlelit crypts, Laura’s genteel corner of Kensington hides more than just scandal—it hides a mysterious cabal of killers. And if Laura keeps poking around, she might be the next victim…
