A Fatal Rendezvous in Mayfair -...

Beverley Oakley

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Mayfair, 1878 The scandal-soaked historical mystery that will haunt your dreams...
A murdered courtesan. A clairvoyant's deadly masquerade. And a crusading editor whose pursuit of truth could destroy them both.
When one of Madame Chambon's most exquisite "Fallen Angels" is discovered butchered in her silk-draped boudoir, Lily, Lady Bradden, feels the noose tightening around her own throat. Hidden within the pleasure house's velvet shadows, she's been playing a perilous game—masquerading as a spirit medium to keep her secrets buried. Now, with blood staining Mayfair's pristine streets, she must unmask a killer before she joins the dead.
Hamish McTavish, the relentless editor of Manners & Morals, has built his reputation destroying London's frauds and charlatans. The enigmatic Lady Bradden should be his next target—if only her haunting presence didn't set his righteous heart ablaze with forbidden desire.
When murder forces their worlds to collide, Hamish faces an impossible choice: expose the truth and watch the woman who's awakened his darkest longings burn, or protect her and become complicit in her deadly deception.
But as Russian diplomats weave their web of intrigue, a vengeful husband stalks closer, and more bodies surface in London's fog-shrouded alleys, Lily and Hamish discover that in a city built on secrets and stained with blood, love may be the most dangerous weapon of all.
A Fatal Rendezvous in Mayfair is Book 1 in the intoxicating London Ladies in Peril series—where Victorian elegance meets gothic terror, and passion burns brightest in the shadow of death.
