Murder at Madame Chambon’s: A Scandalous Victorian Gothic Murder Mystery

A murdered lord in a brothel. An innocent debutante marked for death. A secret buried in the past—and a killer determined to keep it there.

When Miss Evelina Tarot’s fiancé is found murdered in London’s most notorious pleasure house, her respectable world collapses overnight.

Her only champion is William, Lord Bellingham—the man who once crawled through a burning railway carriage beside her before either knew the other’s name.

He saved her life that day.

He has no intention of failing her now.

But William’s investigation uncovers a truth that could ruin them both: Evelina is the secret daughter of Madame Chambon, the infamous keeper of the brothel where her fiancé died.

Desperate to bury the scandal before it destroys Evelina, William joins forces with Lily, Lady Bradden, whose discreet employment bureau offers sanctuary to London’s fallen women. Yet the closer they come to identifying the murderer, the more disturbing the mystery becomes.

Why is the killer more determined to see Evelina dead than to expose her connection to Madame Chambon?

And what does her hidden past have to do with the bloodshed now closing in around her?

As danger tightens its grip, Evelina and William must decide whether to trust the feelings growing between them—before the truth costs one of them everything.

Murder at Madame Chambon’s is the second book in the complete London Ladies in Peril trilogy. Each atmospheric Victorian Gothic romance mystery features a complete central romance and murder investigation, with familiar characters and continuing threads connecting the series.
