About this ebook
Ishbel is only interested in her studies. Ewan is only interested in Ishbel. They make the unlikeliest detectives imaginable.
In Georgian era Edinburgh Ishbel Campbell attends university lectures, avoids balls and prefers the company of working class people to those of her own rank. It isn't how society expects a young lady to behave. Ewan MacPherson attends balls, thinks about marriage and frequently visits his tailor. It's exactly how society expects a gentleman to behave.
A request from Ishbel's cousin has this mismatched pair becoming partners to find a missing emerald necklace. Ishbel will do it to appease her cousin and Ewan is more than happy to spend time with Ishbel. With no clue how to solve crimes, they are close to giving up when they find out that a maid, suspected of the theft, is missing. In a time before the police force ever existed, no one but them cares about the fate of a lowly servant, so they are determined to find her, whatever the price.
As the danger rises and jealousies and insecurities threaten their partnership, will they be able to solve the mystery in time or will the criminal’s deadly attentions turn on them?
Fans of thrilling historical mysteries with a dash of romance, such as the novels of T E Kinsey and Rhys Bowen, will love this series.

I began writing novels nearly three decades ago, as a teenager but, despite sending hundreds of letters to agents, I couldn’t get a traditional publisher. When I moved from England to the Highlands of Scotland I had a short play performed by the local amateur dramatics group and recorded on local radio, and came joint first place in a local writing competition. This gave me the courage to self-publish and, after some initial problems, I’m thrilled to be able to finally share my novels with actual real people.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very enjoyable read. Likeable, interesting characters. Light and easy-to-read but with informative details of the time in which it it set. Looking forward to the next ones, although they don't appear to be available on Scribd at the time of this review.
