Lady Bridgerton meets The Thursday Murder Club in the first of a charming, Victorian-set mystery series from bestselling author Colleen Gleason.

Lady Darling is a woman “of a certain age.” Fifty, to be specific—which, in the eyes of London society, makes her uninteresting, eccentric, and a little intimidating.

She’s a widow.

An empty-nester (all of her children very successfully married-off).

She’s titled, influential…and very, very rich.

Now she just wants to be left alone to enjoy her pets and her gardens and her books.

Until someone turns up dead at a dinner party, and Lady Darling is on the scene.

What’s a smart, responsible, capable woman to do?

Find the killer, of course!

A thrilling, witty romp of a mystery series, the Lady Darling books will find fans with readers of historical cozies, Bridgerton, and The Thursday Murder Club.

”Gleason is really on a roll!” — Publishers Weekly

"Lady Darling might be a woman past her prime, but with the cunning of Poirot and the subtlety of Miss Marple, she's a force to be reckoned with!" — Alyssa Maxwell, author of the Gilded Newport Mysteries

"A sparkling jaunt! Everyone should have a witty, clever, and determined friend like Lady Darling! I am eager to tag along on her next adventure!” — Jessica Ellicott, author of the Beryl & Edwina Mysteries
