A Murder on the Thames
A string of vanished women. A noble daughter gone. A secret so vile, the powerful would kill to keep it buried.
London. 1889. As spring settles over London, bodies of young women begin washing up along the Thames—women no one seems to miss, many of them former residents of charitable institutions. When a concerned mission worker reaches out to Lady Rosalynd, what begins as a simple act of compassion soon reveals something far darker. These women weren’t merely lost. They were deliberately erased.
But when the daughter of an aristocrat disappears and her desperate father turns to the Duke of Steele, the danger can no longer be ignored. As Steele investigates the missing young lady and Rosalynd searches for the truth behind the murders, their inquiries converge. Together, they are drawn into the shadowy underworld of London, where respectability conceals unspeakable crimes—and the river keeps its secrets well.
But with danger comes exposure . . . and consequence. Rumors swirl, reputations teeter, and the bond between Rosalynd and Steele grows harder to ignore. As they race to stop a killer, they must decide whether their partnership can survive the weight of scandal. And whether her heart can survive him.
A Murder on the Thames, Book 3 in the Rosalynd & Steele Mysteries by USA Today bestselling author Magda Alexander, delves into the darkest corners of Victorian London, where power conceals corruption and innocence is easily lost. Perfect for fans of historical mysteries with headstrong heroines, brooding dukes, and slow-burn romance, this gripping tale will leave readers breathless to the very last page.
