DEATH IN SOHO a completely gripping and addictive historical mystery (Alexandra Raven Mysteries Book 1)

A brand-new historical mystery set in London, rebuilding after the Second World War. Alexandra Raven is smart, stylish and unflinchingly brave. She once risked her life behind enemy lines. Now, she hunts the truth in post-war London. A war hero found dead in a locked room. Another victim found strangled in Soho. A private investigator with a past no one dares speak of. London, 1950. In a quiet Belgravia home, war hero Captain Fabian Sarre is found dead with a bullet wound to his head — no note, no explanation. The police think Fabian took his own life. But Lady Bentham, Fabian’s godmother, thinks otherwise, and she’s determined to prove it. She seeks the help of private investigator Alexandra Raven. All they have is a hunch and a police file. But as Alex digs deeper into the case, she uncovers hidden wounds the autopsy overlooked, gambling debts, and a past full of dark secrets. Then a body is found tortured, gagged, and posed in a grim Soho flat. It becomes clear the victim has ties to Fabian. Fabian’s death was no isolated tragedy — it’s part of a far-reaching conspiracy. As more bodies with connections to Fabian surface, Alex must outwit a ruthless killer determined to keep the past buried before the next body is hers . . . A gripping historical mystery packed with intrigue, noir glamour, and a fearless heroine who plays by her own rules. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Laura Wilson, Gretta Mulrooney, Elly Griffiths and Sara Sheridan.
