Death in Velvet!
Time for a new Ruby & Fina mystery! Ebook, paperback, and hardback available.
Who doesn't want the latest fashions?
But the cutting-edge is a dangerous place to be.
Springtime in Paris, 1936.
When Madame Lafitte invites Ruby Dove to her fashion show, how can she and Fina resist?
Unaware of the gathering storm of greed, envy, and malice, our intrepid sleuths plunge headlong once more from the drama of fashion into the drama of murder. A flighty model, an affable cad, a pushy buyer, a gruff archaeologist, a wretched assistant, an insouciant hotel manager, a confident maid, and a talented designer all have a motive for murder. And every one of them could have risked the guillotine.
Faced with too many suspects, too many motives, and the ticking clock of a police investigation, our detectives wine and dine their way through Paris, hoping that someone will slip. Perhaps a Freudian slip, edged with fashionable lace?
If you love golden age detection with a dash of history, join our fashionable Oxford sleuth-spies in a delightful mystery romp through the 1930s. Ruby and Fina wager that you'll never guess who did it.

The Art of Murder
Time for a new Ruby & Fina mystery! Preorder the ebook now. All formats to be released on February 28, 2023.
The art world is deliciously petty.
Until the stakes are raised to murder.
Cornwall, 1936.
Our intrepid trio descends on a Cornish island for an art competition to settle old scores. But someone’s new scorecard adds up to murder.
A delightful weekend away on an island halts with the coming storm. Cut off from the mainland, Ruby, Fina, and Pixley must sharpen their wits against a cunning murderer quite content with bumping off the next guest without a second thought. A tangle of international intrigue and the London Art world brings together a vivacious New York painter, a mysterious Barbadian sugar-company officer, a larger-than-life host, an eccentric Welsh painter, a frenetic gallery owner, an Irish psychotherapist, an heiress to a fortune, a loyal valet, and a devoted secretary. But which of them dares to dabble in the art of murder?
Our trio must solve the murder before everyone on the island becomes victim to this artist's experiments in erasure.
