Most stories set in Victorian England paint the era in the glow of gaslamps and refinement. This is not one of them.
Beatrice and Grim don’t live in a world of fine gentlemen and lady detectives, of housekeepers, afternoon teas, and grand ballrooms. These two dig through the rot, where hunger festers, filth clings to every surface, and a single wrong move can mean disappearing into the Thames, never to be seen again.
Beatrice is used to the madness of poverty. She’s learned to keep her head down and her secrets hidden. Until a box of porcelain figurines shows her evidence of a brutal murder.
Now, she has a choice: ignore the truth, or chase it into the dark, where even her own mind cannot be trusted.
I can’t wait for you to meet Beatrice and Grim, and to hear what you think about the murder they’re investigating!

The journey doesn't end here.
The concepts for Books 2 and 3 of The Memory Collector series are set, and I’m deep into outlining the second book. Writing starts next week, right after I finish translating River of Bones into German.
📌 Tentative release date for The Silence Architect: End of May.
Thank you for being here!
