The Lady Fan Mystery series blends Regency romance with murder mystery across eleven books published between 1992 and 2024. Lady Fan uses her position in polite society to investigate deaths that the authorities cannot or will not solve, bringing a woman’s perspective to crimes in a man’s world.
The series has grown steadily over three decades, with titles like The Gilded Shroud, The Candlelit Coffin, and The Killing Cave suggesting atmospheric mysteries set in the grand houses and shadowy corners of Regency England. Bailey balances the romance and mystery elements, giving readers both a love story and a whodunit in each book.
