“An action-packed plot, rich period detail, and a bit of romance will insure that readers of cozies and historical mysteries will find much to enjoy.” —Booklist
 
 When Winifred Stanford-Jones wakes up beside the bloodied corpse of her lover, her memories of the night before a blur, Ursula Marlow rushes to her friend and fellow suffragette’s side. As the daughter of the richest industrialist in England, Ursula plans to use her family connections to prove Winifred’s innocence. But when she calls on her father’s trusted legal advisor for help, Lord Oliver Wrotham not only dismisses her, he demands Ursula back off the case. It’s a command that only ignites Ursula’s ire and determination to uncover the truth herself.
 
 So when Ursula’s inquiries lead her to mysteries buried in her beloved father’s past, the heiress boards a ship for South America to unravel the chain of events that led to the brutal murder—Lord Wrotham hot on her trail. Once deep in the jungle with her handsome nemesis, Ursula will confront dark secrets and forbidden desires.
 
 “Langley-Hawthorne follows in the pertly trod path set by Jacqueline Winspear. . . . Consequences of Sin is more Dorothy Sayers than CSI, which isn’t a bad thing at all.” —Calgary Herald
 
 “An engaging heroine, the lure of romance, a rapid pace and the requisite period detail.” —Kirkus Reviews

In this Edwardian mystery, a woman must uncover the truth that will rescue her fiancé from claims of treachery against the English crown.
 
 For heiress-turned-sleuth Ursula Marlow, the stakes have never been higher. Lord Wrotham, love of her life and the man she is to marry, stands accused of treason. Worse, a vow of secrecy keeps her beloved from even attempting to save himself from the gallows. It will be up to Ursula to find the evidence that will return Wrotham to his rightful place by her side.
 
 But with the authorities convinced that Wrotham is behind a plot to sell naval secrets to Kaiser’s Germany and liberate Ireland from English rule, Ursula partners with prickly Chief Inspector Harrison to delve into Wrotham’s mysterious past. . . . 
 
 Drawn into the shadowy world of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and a web of espionage and betrayal, Ursula must race against time to clear Lord Wrotham’s name and thwart a plot that threatens not only British national security, but her life.

Unlikely Traitors

In this “absorbing” Edwardian mystery, an heiress turned amateur sleuth investigates murder in a “tightly knit tale with an unexpected twist” (Publishers Weekly).
 
 As heiress to her father’s international textile empire, Ursula Marlow’s fortune puts her at the top of English society. But as an Edwardian-era woman with wealth and power, Ursula is also the ultimate outsider. 
 
 Her business leads her to Egypt, a trip turned sour after the mysterious wife of a wealthy Russian financier is violently killed. Days later, a young woman dies in a fire in one of Ursula’s factories. When Ursula learns the woman was already dead before the fire began, she is determined to find justice—especially after discovering a connection between the two murdered women. Ursula’s investigation reveals that someone is also trying to ruin her reputation, causing her to turn to her past lover Lord Wrotham for help. If only that were really an option for a woman as headstrong and independent as Ursula. . . .
