London, 1759 Lizzie Hardwicke has learned to escape her history and survive the perilous streets of Soho within the walls of Mrs Farley?s Bawdy House, a reputable brothel. But entertaining wealthy customers may not be so profitable when one of them is brutally murdered after a night with her. Lizzie must escape the investigator Davenport?s suspicious eye by solving the murder herself. But the deeper she goes, the more bodies pile up. From her customers to the doorman, everyone has something to hide. All Lizzie needs to do is find the person willing to kill for theirs, before they come for her. Death and the Harlot is the first instalment of the gripping and vividly imagined historical mystery series. Perfect for fans of Sarah Waters and Diana Gabaldon, echoing the atmospheric pull of a Nancy Drew-esque mystery.
