Lynn Messina's Regency Cozy (Verity Lark Mysteries Book 4)

It is hardly surprising that Verity Lark finds it difficult to sleep at night, with the multitude of thoughts racing through her mind: her recent incarceration in Newgate, her debt to Colson Hardwicke, and the harrowing abuse endured by the children at Fortescue's, which her investigation of the orphan asylum several years prior had failed to uncover. Moreover, she has now committed to providing shooting lessons to the Duchess of Kesgrave, a task that fills her with a sense of madness, given that she has spent the past three months mercilessly mocking the former spinster for her investigative pretensions.

Thankfully, Verity stumbles upon a forged antiquities ring when she accompanies Hardwicke to the British Museum, providing her with a benign focus for her troubled mind. Alas, when a murderer strikes close to home, threatening every member of her household, Verity realizes the gravity of her misunderstanding. Far from harmless, the counterfeit scheme is a deadly endeavor, and she must now work to uncover the identity of a ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to eliminate her.

Welcome to the fourth installment of the Verity Lark Mysteries, where secrets run deep, and every move could be her last.
