The Thief-Takers Apprentice
It is Shropshire in 1749 and when a midnight burglary strikes her home, Sarah Beaumont turns to thief-taker Edwin Hare to recover what’s been stolen. But his investigation uncovers more than missing heirlooms—it disturbs secrets some would kill to keep buried.
Meg Valentine, an under-gardener with little to lose, jumps at the chance to work alongside Edwin, hoping to escape poverty by learning his trade. But when the suspected thief turns up dead, trust begins to fracture—especially when suspicion falls on Sarah, and even Edwin himself.
As motives twist and loyalties crumble, Meg must navigate deceit, danger, and the shadows of her own ambition to unmask a killer.
Perfect for fans of richly layered historical mysteries where every secret comes at a cost.
Lost Lane
Now a thief-taker on her own account, Meg Valentine accepts an invitation to investigate a spate of burglaries in a quiet Shropshire town. She needs the money—badly. But within days of her arrival, she’s swept into a deadly puzzle: two young people, seemingly unconnected, are found murdered.
Why would anyone target them in this sleepy backwater? Are their deaths and thefts linked?
To uncover the truth, Meg must navigate a tangle of secrets, lies, and mounting threats to her own life.
