Daughters of Night: A Compulsive and Sordid Historical Mystery in Georgian London

A gripping historical mystery set in Georgian London, where a woman's quest for justice leads her into a web of secrets, lies, and deadly deception.

London, 1782. Caroline 'Caro' Corsham, anxious for her politician husband's return from France, finds her life upended when she discovers a well-dressed woman mortally wounded in Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. The Bow Street constables are quick to dismiss the case upon learning that the victim was a high-priced prostitute, but Caro is determined to see justice served.

Joining forces with thief-taker Peregrine Child, Caro delves into the hidden corners of Georgian society, navigating a treacherous world of artifice and deception. As many gentlemen refuse to speak of their dealings with the deceased, and Caro's own reputation hangs in the balance, uncovering the killer proves more perilous than she could have imagined.

From The Sunday Times bestselling author of The Square of Sevens, Laura Shepherd-Robinson's Daughters of Night is a haunting tale of murder, secrets, and the dark underbelly of 18th-century London. Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom and Janice Hallett, this richly atmospheric historical mystery will keep readers guessing until the very end.
