Unlikely alliances form when a killer is on the loose… but who can be trusted?
The Home Office has asked Sir Bertrand Thorndike to head an investigation into stolen royal jewels. And as with everything concerning the Prince Regent, discretion is paramount.
It’s the perfect chance for Bertie to step out of his brother’s long shadow.
Unfortunately, his superior, The Duke of Haverly, has a plan that makes him balk: in order to sell his cover, Bertie must play the part of a man looking for love, ready to reform his rakish ways. The duke is willing to let Bertie name his own investigative team, but his recommendation that the team include Philippa Cashel has Bertie on his guard. Does the duke–known for his behind-the-scenes machinations–have an ulterior motive?
Philippa Cashel escaped her life as one of society’s best-known courtesans, devoting her life to helping other women in dire straits. So when Sir Bertrand Thorndike approaches her about joining his team as an agent of the Crown, she is sceptical.
Why her?
She’s focused on getting her school for underprivileged women up and running, not in cloak-and-dagger skullduggery. Her hope is that if she labours hard enough at her charity work, she might begin to feel worthy of God’s forgiveness of her past.
When one of Philippa’s rescued girls is arrested for stealing the royal jewels and another is murdered, Philippa will risk partnering with Bertie to find the loot and stop the killer.
Two brilliant minds–with two wary hearts–and one cunning deceiver are on a collision course in Regency England.
Beloved Regency author Erica Vetsch begins this new series with all the elements that keep her readers coming back. From historical accuracy to rousing mystery to deep character faith journeys, A Thieving at Carlton House will please Regency lovers–and anyone else who loves a great story.

About the Author of A Thieving at Carlton House
My Thoughts on A Thieving at Carlton House
I’m a huge fan of this author. She does amazing historical fiction novels that bring about the hard and the dirty of the time and chats about them in a good and easy way.
Royal jewels are stolen! Well, that’s a great way to start. Bertie is asked to look into them. To find them really. Because we can’t have missing royal jewels.
What happens when Bertie decides to ask a woman to help him? A woman with quite a scandalous past in fact. Can they work together to find the jewels? Or will they lose themselves in the process?
I loved getting to revisit some characters from other stories. And I’m very excited that this is the start of another series!
