  Maggie Finch has the perfect life. A successful architect, a loving husband, and a beautiful home overlooking the Pacific. She also has a secret. When a man from her past is found dead, Maggie’s meticulously constructed world begins to fracture. The police have questions, but her alibi is airtight, a flawless narrative of a quiet evening at home.
   
  
   
  Yet someone knows it’s a lie. Anonymous notes arrive, detailing moments Maggie is certain no one saw. Security footage she deleted reappears, subtly altered. The investigation tightens around her, not for the murder, but for a perjury she never committed. Her husband’s unwavering support starts to feel like surveillance, and her closest friend seems to be hiding a secret of her own.
   
  
   
  As the net closes, Maggie realizes the trap was not set by the police. Her alibi was a gift from a phantom, a perfect story designed to bury her. To survive, she must dismantle the life she built and uncover who orchestrated her flawless defense. The truth is a reflection in a broken mirror, and every piece she picks up cuts deeper.
   
  
   
  The final detail awaits, a single flaw in an otherwise perfect frame. To see it, Maggie must question every memory, every loyalty, and every reflection in the glass of her pristine home. Someone has been watching, learning, and waiting. Now, they are ready to finish what they started.

  In London, 1666, drinking coffee can get you killed… 
  The case of Samuel Pepys’s missing pocket watch escalates rapidly when Eustace Blount, writer and wit, is found murdered in Rose’s Coffee House on The Strand. 
  Blount was a prig, a poseur and a parliamentarian – nobody liked him, not even his friends – and Pepys’s intrepid personal inquisitors, Abby Harcourt and Jacob Standish, find themselves with a suspect list as unwieldy as it is perplexing. 
  When their investigation leads to the nearby Gilded Bean coffee house, frequented by fervently royalist members of parliament, it becomes clear that a dangerous political game is afoot. Abby and Jacob face their most audacious challenge yet: 
  To break into Westminster Palace, at the very heart of English politics. The penalty, if discovered – is death. 
  The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob. If you love a fiendish mystery wrapped in vivid history, this series is for you.
