BEST TASHA ALEXANDER BOOKS

These are three best books by Tasha Alexander.

And Only to Deceive: Emily agreed to marry Philip not because she wanted to but because she wanted to escape her tyrannical mother. Philips death on a hunting expedition in Africa leaves Emily less grieving for she barely knew anything about her late husband.

However a discovery of Philip almost two years after his death reveals that he was a man she never imagined- apart from being a scholar and antiquities collector, he deeply loved his wife.

This revelation sparks a spirit of the investigation so as to learn more about her late husband. Her investigations lead her within the walls of the British Museum and into dangerous places involving some hard to find stolen artifacts. Making things more complicated the “Lady Queen” she is dealing with two wealthy suitors and one of them intentions goes far beyond the love affairs into the darker spheres.

A Poisoned Season: The London social season is on, and the Victorian aristocracy is in a state of nervous excitement, because of a man claiming to be the descendant of Louis Marie Antoinette XVI. Adding to their surprise, an audacious burglar has been stealing the belongings of the ill-fated queen. Things take a dark course when the owner of one of the stolen treasures is killed after the theft was published in the newspapers. Also, the thief develops an obsession with Lady Emily.
