    The Investigations of Marianne Starr Series

    About this series

    The urchins of Victorian London say that a ghost is murdering young women …

    Maybe it wouldn't matter on the chaotic and dingy streets – but these victims are respectable ladies, and when the Chief Inspector asks questions, he's transferred out of the way.

    Marianne Starr is asking questions, too. One of the victims was her friend. Asking the wrong questions puts her in the firing line and suddenly she's on the run, hiding out in the very worst rookeries, and the only way to return to her normal life is to expose the truth behind the murdering ghost.

    But the truth behind the murderer also reveals some dangerous facts about her dead friend, too, and calls into question everything she thought she knew about women, society and justice.

    There is one thing more powerful than justice. And that's money. Marianne has neither. How can she avenge her friend's death – and with her surprising past revealed, does she even want to?

      London, 1890: a new woman in an old world, science in an age of wonder, and a thrilling new historical mystery. When scientific investigator Marianne Starr – rich in talent but poor in everything else – meets excitable trader George Bartholomew, she initially refuses to take his case. Her job is to publicly unmask fake mediums, not to unravel his strange story of fake fathers. But now, with George lying dead in squalor and a man in a blue top hat shadowing her every move, she must take the case. She can't rely on her own scientific training. She needs the help of her socialite cousin Phoebe, her paranoid stage magician friend Simeon, and even her father – when he's lucid. She isn't doing it for the money, or even her good name. Because if she can't discover the dangerous secrets behind the Bartholomew family before the pistol-waving Prussians catch up with her, she'll pay with her life – and everyone she loves will be next. Light, fun and intriguing, THE WILLING GAME is the start of a thrilling new historical mystery series from the author of the popular Lady C. Investigates series. It's a complete novel with no cliffhanger. They can be read in any order.
