Eton, or eaten? This picnic is turning out to be no picnic… Annabel and her parents are off to Eton to join her sons for the students’ annual celebration of the King’s birthday, observed with boat races on the Thames, fireworks, and a picnic by the river—which the boys seem to be especially looking forward to, considering the number of cakes and sandwiches they’ve begged Annabel to bring. She’s secretly pleased when they’re joined unexpectedly by the Marquis of Quinceton—but much less happy when some less-welcome unexpected guests threaten to turn the party into a funeral. Thanks to a platter of pastries and some quick thinking by the marquis, tragedy is averted…but the Ladies of Almack’s are concerned by what happened on the river, and why… Turmoil on the Thames is the fifth installment of The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

Vandalized art. An unsuited suitor. And the summer’s only beginning… The Ladies of Almack’s are shocked to discover that someone is vandalizing the pictures at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition: the portraits and landscapes are being subtly altered to make malicious fun of the head of the Exhibition, Sir Henry Hebbly, and his wife. Annabel knows the Hebblys: Sir Henry is a bit of a bully, but who could wish to hurt his darling wife? The Ladies’ talents—especially her shadow-shaping abilities—will solve the case, but are the culprits Annabel catches the ones truly at fault? And magical art sabotage isn’t the only thing on her mind. Surely she should be delighted that the attentions of a new admirer, the Marquis of Glenrick, are becoming marked: after all, he’s heir to a dukedom. But she’s beginning to think she might prefer the attentions of a different marquis… The Cursed Canvases is the fourth installment of The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

Young widow Annabel Chalfont, Countess of Fellbridge, has two small sons to raise, a mountain of her late husband’s debts to pay off, and a secret: she’s a shadow-shaper, able to manipulate shadow as anyone else might clay. She and six other high-born ladies with equally extraordinary abilities defend England against supernatural crime—but the world knows them only as the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s, Regency London’s most exclusive social venue. Annabel is part of the Ladies’ investigation of an extremely sensitive matter: the attempted blackmail of a member of the royal family. Meanwhile, she’s trying to help a lovelorn pigeon and discover why Lord Quinceton is suddenly shunning her and devoting himself instead to her fellow Lady Patroness, Frances Dalrymple. When the Ladies begin to suspect that one of their number might be leading a double life, Annabel wonders if all these circumstances might not be related…

Almack’s admits only the crème de la crème of Regency society. At least, it used to… Annabel Chalfont, Countess of Fellbridge, has two young sons to raise, a mountain of her late husband’s debts to repay, and a country to defend — such is the lot of the newest Lady Patroness of Almack’s. To the rest of the world, the Lady Patronesses are the gatekeepers of London’s most exclusive venue. But when they aren’t dispensing vouchers to the worthy few, they’re secretly using their extraordinary magical abilities to defend king and country against supernatural crime. When someone starts forging entrance vouchers to Almack’s in Annabel’s name, dozens of upstarts and social climbers flood the Wednesday night balls. To save her honor and preserve Almack’s reputation, Annabel must uncover the mysterious forger soon. If only she didn’t have to do it under the unnerving hungry wolf stare of the Marquis of Quinceton… The Forgery Furore is the first installment in The Ladies of Almack's series by Marissa Doyle.

She and six other high-born ladies with equally extraordinary abilities defend England against supernatural crime—but the world knows them only as the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s, Regency London’s most exclusive social venue.

Once there, she finds herself even more reluctantly chaperoning a royal teenager through the high season in the most sophisticated town in England. But keeping a spoiled princess out of trouble is nothing compared to uncovering treason, as the Ladies will discover…

A musical sensation A bold jewel thief A sneaking suspicion that it’s happened before... A rash of brazen jewel thefts across London society—just like one that happened decades ago—has Annabel and the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s on their guard. In the meanwhile, Annabel’s cousin Hartley, Viscount Mompesson, has fallen hard for Demetria Pouli, a bewitching Greek soprano with the voice of an angel who is taking London by storm. Hartley begs Annabel to help convince his overbearing mother that Demetria is the only wife for him…but Demetria’s aunts don’t approve of the match either. When the Ladies realize that the thefts coincide with Demetria’s recitals, they understand why they seem so familiar. But a happily-ever-after for Hartley and Demetria isn’t necessarily out of the question, thanks to the Ladies and—much to Annabel’s indignation—a little help from the Marquis of Quinceton… Lyrics and Larceny is the third installment in The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

A best-selling author. A missing manuscript. The readers of London are raging... The popular but reclusive author E.C. Spruce has outdone himself with a delicious new three-volume novel, The Fifty Shades of Udolpho, and all of London—including Annabel and the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s—are devouring it. That is, until the third volume begins vanishing from bookshops and bedside tables alike, leaving readers desperate to know how the story ends. Suspecting supernatural forces are at play, Annabel and her fellow Lady Patronesses investigate the literary loss. A clever trap reveals an unexpected (and smelly) culprit, but it appears that plot twists aren’t always reserved for the page. Will they be able to bring the thieving mastermind to justice? And could the Marquis of Quinceton actually be more of a help than a disconcerting hindrance? The Vanishing Volume is the second book in The Ladies of Almack's series by Marissa Doyle.
