“I absolutely love the Hetheridge series and have been waiting on pins and needles for another installment!” —From Reader Review
Lord Anthony Hetheridge, Chief Superintendent for Scotland Yard, has made a name for himself catching killers—a name all his own, apart from his hereditary title. On the cusp of his sixtieth birthday, the wealthy lifelong bachelor has it all—until DS Kate Wakefield upends his elegantly ordered world. The divide should be insurmountable—age gap, wealth gap, and a class gap wider than the Thames. But as Hetheridge, Kate, and his protege, DS Deepal “Paul” Bhar, investigate the brutal murder of a financier, he finds himself falling in love with Kate—even as the clues lead to a secret from his own past.
“This novel has everything I hope for in a good mystery: a strong plot with some good twists, enjoyable characters who have problems but behave with intelligence and humanity, villains who are well-rounded, and a good solid basis for an ongoing series.” –from Reader Review

Blue Murder: Book Two
When a Halloween bash ends in double murder, Scotland Yard sends Lord Hetheridge and his team to investigate in Blue Murder, the second book in the bestselling Lord & Lady Hetheridge Mystery Series.
In London’s fashionable Chelsea, the sons and daughters of the rich and powerful are indulging in a Halloween bash. Society princess Emmeline Wardle, daughter of a frozen food baron, screams blue murder when two university schoolmates are found dead—golden boy Trevor Parsons and pasty computer nerd Clive French. Given the social connections of all involved, New Scotland Yard sends a real baron to investigate: Chief Superintendent Anthony Hetheridge, also known as Lord Hetheridge, ninth baron of Wellegrave.
Just as Hetheridge and his team, DS Kate Wakefield and DS Deepal “Paul” Bhar, believe they have the suspects nailed down, they discover an acquitted killer living next door to the murder house. Five years ago, Sir Duncan Godington was accused of doing in his family, but the jury fell in love with him, and the Crown failed to convict him. After his acquittal, he kept a low profile, throwing lavish galas and restoring his place among the rich and titled. Did he commit the double murder? Has he come out of retirement at last?
