    About this series

    Two murders, one investigation, no leads – and a web of lies.

    Lily Smith is treading a tightrope between maintaining the expected standards of dignity demanded of women in 1920s London and being an effective police constable. Things get more difficult when she's embroiled in the tragic death of a young woman at the house of a prominent politician.

    Inspector Mackintosh is misogynistic, lecherous and brash but he is happy to use Lily's connections in the upper class world – while it suits him. She is delighted to be able to investigate but gutted when she's dropped from the case as quickly as she was taken on.

    And then the case itself is swept away in favour of a far more important one.

    All lives are important to Lily and the death of the young girl weighs heavily on her mind. She can't let it drop. She makes a choice between morality and her career.

    Meanwhile her friend Nell is being conned by a smooth businessman and her mother is facing up to her disowned daughter, Bea. Lily wants to help everyone at the same time as solving the case, and it all collides in a desperate night time pursuit across London where she has no choice but to throw herself on the mercy of a known criminal.

    To win justice for the dead, what will she have to lose?

      Lily Smith and the Duke's Diamonds: Mother, sister, or justice? Choose one. Lily Smith, a policewoman in 1920s London, would rather be dancing to jazz in a club. Now a straightforward surveillance task has got her tangled up in a web of lies, and exposing certain truths could end her career. With enemies in the shadows, but good friends all around, it's a race to solve the case of the missing diamonds. And when she discovers who really did it, will she have the courage to reveal the whole truth, or can she find a way to save all the people that she cares about … and still uphold the law? Lily Smith and the Misplaced Lord: A straightforward question of inheritance opens up a history of mistakes that proves deadly. Lily Smith is battling trouble at work, and strife at home. Her colleague is harbouring a grudge and her mother is becoming erratic. She helps her friend, Nell, on a visit to a lawyer and does not expect this simple task to become the most challenging one of all. But she asks the wrong questions of the wrong people, and someone ends up murdered. So she continues to ask questions – and now she's the one in danger, fighting for her own life. And the one person she thought she could rely on has disappeared… This volume, book one, contains TWO prequel novellas as an introduction to the Golden Twenties Mysteries which continue with book two, Lily Smith and the Lady's Secret. They are traditional mysteries with no cliffhangers or extreme scenes, written in British English. These novellas allow you to dip your toe into the water and see if the temperature suits you!

      If power corrupts, maybe it's a good thing police woman Lily Smith doesn't have any power at all. A young man lies dead and his companion can only remember fragments about the attack. She wishes she couldn't remember anything at all. Lily has to keep her safe while she recovers – and before the attacker can hunt her down to finish the job. It's not easy being one of only two women police constables per division in 1920s London, especially when Lily's colleague Sylvia is more interested in snaring a husband than criminals. Soho and Mayfair are full of jazz parties, dancing and corruption and Lily finds herself caught between wanting to make the most of her youth and pursing her new career. These two worlds collide when it looks like the murderer is going to get away with it. Lily can't let that happen. Her actions put her relations with Sylvia in jeopardy, rock her unfolding romance with George, and risk bringing trouble to her own mother's door. She's in danger of losing much more than her job and she doesn't have much time. Can she really bring down the most powerful woman in London? This is a full-length traditional mystery (80,000 words) set in Britain and written in British English with some mild profanities but no adult scenes. The books in the Golden Twenties Mysteries can be read in any order. Check out book one – two introductory novellas called Lily Smith and the Duke's Diamonds.
