The Devil's Heart: Adelaide & Raven Investigate

by Emma Strike

Scandal. Revenge. Murder.

Adelaide Ray has spent her life ignoring the father who abandoned her as an infant, carving her own path as a nurse in a Calcutta hospital. But when the enigmatic Englishman Ethan Ravensworth arrives with a proposal that could change everything, she is forced to confront a past she'd hoped to leave behind.

In England, Adelaide faces the harsh realities of being an illegitimate Eurasian woman in upper crust society. Yet when a body is discovered in the study during her half-sister's engagement party, Adelaide must uncover the truth—or risk losing her chance at a new beginning. With the reluctant assistance of Ethan, she ventures into London’s dangerous underbelly, where echoes of the Ripper murders haunt the shadows and threaten to destroy everything she holds dear.

As the body count rises, can Adelaide solve the crime, protect an innocent man, and fight for the life she's always dreamed of? Find out today in this first in a series of warm and cozy historical mysteries!
