I’m thrilled to announce the release of the eighth novel in the Arabella Grey Mysteries series — Mourning Lace, now available in Kindle and softcover on Amazon.
Set against the salt-stained backdrop of a faded Victorian seaside resort, Mourning Lace takes our sharp-minded heroine to Greystone-on-Sea, where time and tide seem to conceal more than they reveal. Arabella is meant to be taking a restful escape from her increasingly perilous investigations… but tranquility proves elusive.
When a widow is found dead on the shore, draped in antique mourning lace, Arabella is drawn into a chilling pattern of deaths, each echoing a ritual that’s far too precise to be coincidence. At the heart of the mystery lies a forgotten mourning society, a dressmaker’s ledger filled with coded names, and a long-standing tradition that turns sorrow into sentence.
As with all Arabella’s adventures, Mourning Lace is rich with atmosphere, emotional depth, and a touch of the gothic. You’ll encounter:
- Coastal decay and curling sea fog
- Hidden chambers and forbidden histories
- Women who grieve and resist in silence
- And lace… as both symbol and weapon
But at its core, this is a story about who gets to grieve, and who gets to judge, and what happens when women’s pain is dismissed until it turns sharp.
If you’ve followed Arabella through haunted granges, secret societies, and poisoned dinner parties, you’ll find Mourning Lace to be a natural next step — both a self-contained tale and a deepening of the threads that have always bound the series: memory, mystery, and the quiet power of women who refuse to be ignored.
