They say that travel broadens the mind...

When socialite Maisie Frobisher heads off on a cruise to India in search of adventure, little does she know what form it will take.

First some jewellery, then an important document goes missing from an ambassador’s cabin. If that document gets into the wrong hands, there will be trouble. And it’s definitely in the wrong hands...

Maisie already has her suspicions of a fellow-guest at the captain’s table. However, when he turns out to be a police inspector travelling incognito and takes over the investigation, Maisie’s nose is put firmly out of joint. Then a crime of an entirely different kind rears its head, and Maisie finds that the past she is trying to escape from just won’t let her go...

With less than two weeks until the ship reaches port, can Maisie put aside her prejudices and learn to work with Inspector Hamilton? Can they trust each other? And most importantly, can they find that document before it causes an international incident?

All At Sea is the first book in the Maisie Frobisher Mysteries series, set in the mid-1890s.

What happens when the honeymoon ends?

Life in Baker Street is not all Nell Hudson thought it would be.

In the midst of it all, an opportunity beckons for Nell. She is approached to go undercover as a spy; but to do so she must leave everything behind and live a life completely alien to her.

Will Nell dare to step out of Sherlock Holmes’s shadow?
