Dukes, Drinks, and Murder: Victoria Parker Regency Mysteries Book 1 - Paperback

An unexpected invitation, a deadly secret, and a romance on the line-Regency England's intrigue is about to unfold.

After receiving a surprising personal invitation for a weekend of leisure and celebration, Miss Victoria Parker leaves London for the country seat of the Duke of Everton. Though puzzled by why a lowly spinster would be invited by a duke, Victoria's trusted assistant, James Kensington, assures her it must concern her late father's accounting firm, which she secretly runs.

But James couldn't be more wrong.

On the first night of her stay, events take a murderous turn when Victoria discovers her host dead from apparent poisoning. Worse still, the other guests believe Victoria may have played a part in the duke's untimely death.

With a killer on the loose and her name on the line, Victoria is determined to solve the mystery of His Grace's murder. Yet, uncovering the truth proves more challenging than she anticipated, as everyone at Stanting Estate seems to have a motive for wanting the duke dead.

Realizing she cannot solve this mystery alone, Victoria turns to James for help. As they work closely together, new feelings begin to emerge, though Victoria tries to suppress them. After all, it would not do to fall in love with an employee. Each clue she uncovers brings her closer to unmasking the murderer... and to James.

Can she solve the murder before she loses both her reputation and her heart?

A cozy, romantic Regency murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the end.
