Artless Demise: A Lady Darby Mystery Book 7

In November of 1831, Lady Kiera Darby returned to London with her new husband, Sebastian Gage. However, their newlywed bliss was soon disrupted by the haunting specter of her past in the latest installment of the bestselling series. Lady Darby had fled London in disgrace over two years ago, and her return to the city was far from ordinary.

Upon their arrival, a group of body snatchers was apprehended for emulating the infamous crimes of Burke and Hare from Edinburgh - murdering individuals on the streets and selling their bodies to medical schools. The revelation of these "burkers" operating in London shocked the entire city, leaving the populace on edge and quick to point fingers at any potential suspects.

To make matters worse, Lady Darby received a blackmail letter threatening to expose her late husband's connection to the body snatchers, putting her and her loved ones in grave danger. As she and Gage delved into the investigation, they were also tasked with solving the murder of a young nobleman found dead near his home. Was it the work of the burkers or someone closer to the victim, taking advantage of the chaos in the city?

As the couple navigated the treacherous landscape of London’s criminal underworld, they uncovered a web of deception and danger. With their lives and the life of their unborn child on the line, Lady Darby and Sebastian Gage raced against time to unravel the truth and bring the perpetrators to justice.
