Born in London, Sarah spent most of her adult life in New York. She now lives in Grenada in the Caribbean. She is happily married and has two grown daughters. The Tabitha & Wolf Mystery, The Isabella Hartwell Society Mysteries, and The Continental Capers of Melody Chesterton series are the kind of books Sarah likes to read on a lazy Sunday: historical mysteries with strong, intelligent, independent female characters. She has always enjoyed historical novels that highlight and attempt to remedy some of the injustices of the time. Whether it’s inequality for women, poor labor laws, or widespread poverty, her characters have to face head-on the grim realities of their times. But her books are also fun and filled with adorable orphans, exasperating dowagers, and charming, if somewhat roguish, heroes. She hopes you enjoy reading them as much as she’s enjoyed writing them.

It’s 1911, and war is brewing across Europe. However, Melody Chesterton, an independent young woman with her own fortune, has more important things on her mind. Melody is determined to do more with her life than marry well; she wants exciting escapades with perhaps some romance sprinkled in along the way. Chaperoned by her older brother, Rat, who secretly works for Britain’s newly formed Secret Service Bureau, Melody sets off for the first stop on her Grand Tour of Europe, Venice. Unbeknownst to Melody, Rat is on his first solo mission and is plagued by self-doubt. His sister’s continual interference and insistence on socialising with the too-charming and very suspicious Conte Foscari just adds to Rat’s worries. Charmed by Venice, Melody is sure that Italy is where she will fall in love and have the adventure of a lifetime – if only her annoying older brother would stop trying to...

Step into 1897 Victorian London: Unravel Love and Intrigue with The Tabitha & Wolf Historical Mystery Series, where Mystery meets Romance with a splash of Humour. Tabitha was used to being a social pariah. Could her standing in society get any worse? Tabitha, Lady Chesterton, the Countess of Pembroke, is newly widowed at only 22 years of age. With no son to inherit the title, it falls to a dashing, distant cousin of her husband’s, Jeremy Chesterton, known as Wolf. It quickly becomes apparent that Wolf had consorted with some of London’s most dangerous citizens before inheriting the title. Can he leave this world behind, or will shadowy figures from his past follow him into his new aristocratic life in Mayfair? And can Tabitha avoid being caught up in Wolf’s dubious activities? It seems it’s well and truly time for Tabitha to leave her gilded cage behind for good.
