Wicked Conceit: Lady Darby Mystery Book 9

In March 1832, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Kiera and her husband, Sebastian Gage, are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child. However, their hopes for a peaceful period are shattered when they become entangled in a series of murders and chaos in the latest installment of the popular historical mystery series.

The trouble begins with the notorious criminal Bonnie Brock Kincaid, whose daring crimes are depicted in a new book and play. Despite his protests of innocence, Kiera and Sebastian find themselves suspicious of his intentions, especially as a string of crimes inspired by the play start plaguing the city.

As the situation escalates, with the publisher of the book found brutally murdered in a scene mirroring the play, suspicion falls on both Bonnie Brock and the Gages themselves, who have been vocal critics of the work. Now, the couple must race against time to uncover the true killer.

Amidst the chaos of the city, including a cholera outbreak and personal conflicts, Kiera and Sebastian must rely on all their resources to survive. Secrets are revealed, relationships are tested, and the couple finds themselves in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a ruthless murderer.

Trapped in the dark underground passages of the city, Kiera and Sebastian realize that the truth may not always set them free, and that danger lurks around every corner. Will they be able to unmask the killer before it's too late?
