Katherine Webber, author of Twin Crowns

An all-female detective agency righting wrongs at the

end of the nineteenth century; infiltrating a scandalous upper class

world straight out of Bridgerton and using their wit and bravery

to unmask a villain.

When Marigold Bloom finds her family business in trouble a chance

Oliver Lockhart leads her to the Aviary - a secret agency

of women who specialise in blackmailing troublesome men.

mysterious return of Oliver's long lost sister. Forced to masquerade

as a newly engaged couple, it is up to Mari and Oliver to determine

if there is an imposter in their midst. But what happens

when the line between truth and fiction starts to blur? And what

do you do when a pretend romance starts to feel all too real?
