    About this series

    Sometimes the truth is as slippery as a mermaid...

    December, 1925

    A dark, smog-filled London doesn’t seem very Christmassy, or exciting, but then Posie Parker, London’s premier female Private Detective receives an urgent call from one of her oldest friends; Rufus, Earl of Cardigeon.

    Summoned to ‘The Mermaid’, an ancient hotel in Rye, on the Sussex Coast, in the heart of smuggling country, Posie, together with her husband, Richard, finds her friend in a real state.

    Rufus has been promised answers about his missing wife, Dolly, but instead there’s simply a bizarre string of events: a priceless car mysteriously driven off a cliff; a missing Frenchman, and telegrams from men who simply don’t exist. While Richard Lovelace, Chief Commissioner of New Scotland Yard, tries to work out if Rufus himself is the target of a complicated plot, Posie has her own investigations to make.

    The local tragedy of a missing dancer has been dealt with by county police as an open-and-shut case. But Posie soon discovers it is anything but. And she suspects foul play.

    And as the snow falls, and Christmas lights go up, secrets are revealed, and Posie becomes involved in perhaps her most personal case so far. She becomes aware that danger lurks at ‘The Mermaid’, and not just for Rufus.

    A murderer is on the loose.

    • 5/5
      Absolutely love the Posie Parker series. Really enjoying the murder mystery genre at the moment.
    • 5/5
      A nice comeback from a few mediocre attempts. Better story & resolution than the last few. Looking forward to Posie’s next adventures!
    • 5/5
      Loved this series with the unique characters, also the way the story was such that sometimes it had unexpected surprises.
    • 5/5
      Twists and turns to the very end, I didn’t want to put it down! Hopefully there will be more books to come.
    • 5/5
      Clare Wille brings these fabulous stories to life. I’m so invested in Posie, Richard and the team. Oh and Dolly’s story too. Love this series and the details of the era so much. More please.
    • 5/5
      This is an excellent historical mystery. So many seemingly unrelated facts are brilliantly sewn together in the end.
    • 5/5
      This twisted tale of murder in Tuscany is the best one so I far in her series. It definitely was unstoppable as I listened all day glued to the end.
      Such creativity in one woman’s mind was astonishing. Plots amongst more plots twists and turns made this a riveting story. Absolutely loved it. And I’m eager for MORE. Bring it on L.B.
