About this ebook
Lady Emily investigates the murder of a glamorous debutante in the next irresistible mystery of Tasha Alexander’s New York Times bestselling series.
London, 1907: When the Season's most accomplished and elegant debutante, Victoria Goldsborough, collapses and dies at her engagement ball, the great and good of London Society prepare to mourn the tragic loss of an upstanding young woman. But all is not what it seems, and after a toxic beverage is revealed to be the cause of death, the king himself instructs Lady Emily and her husband Colin Hargreaves to unearth the truth.
Who would want to harm one of the most popular women of the year? Is it her fiancé with whom she had an unusually brief courtship; a rival for his affections bitter at being cast aside; her best friend who is almost certainly hiding a secret from Colin and Emily; a disappointed suitor with a hidden gambling habit; or a notorious jewel thief who has taken a priceless tiara from the Goldsborough home? When a second debutante succumbs to poison, the race is on to find a ruthless killer.
Emily and Colin’s investigation leads to a centuries old tomb in the center of London with a mysterious link to another death dating back to Roman times and the violent reign of Boudica, ancient Britain's fearsome warrior queen. As the stakes rise and the clock ticks down, Emily must find the killer before they strike again.

The Sisterhood is the 19th thrilling mystery in the Lady Emily series! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed following Emily’s & Colin’s adventures over the years. After over ten years of marriage, this dynamic duo stands the test of time. Whether evading murderers or looking for clues, they rely on each others’ talents & expertise, & though Colin’s loathe to admit it, Emily’s intuition. In this latest dual time period mystery, Tasha Alexander takes us to 1907 London & 60 A.D. Britannia. Definitely recommend!

In 1907 London, the death of a debutante at her engagement ball reveals a sinister plot, leading Lady Emily and her husband Colin to investigate a web of secrets and suspects. This intriguing mystery wove together a number of themes, such as history, politics, and romantic alliances. The pacing is balanced and never lagged. I enjoyed revisiting the familiar characters—although all the books in the series can stand alone. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.

This is a favorite series of mine and will also listen on audible which has become addictive! London 1907 and it is the "season" for all the debutantes to come out. When a murder occurs, Lady Emily and her dashing husband Colin are tasked to find out what happened. One thing leads to another and a far ago past comes forward. As always history and fiction meld together with amazing speed and grips the reader until the end! Until the next adventure! Read the entire series if you have not!
