Francine Mathews has written eight standalone novels that range across history and genre. Several are set during or around World War II, including Jack 1939 (about a young John F. Kennedy) and Too Bad to Die (featuring Ian Fleming as a spy). A Flaw in the Blood (2008) is a Victorian thriller involving Queen Victoria.

Her standalones show a writer who is comfortable moving between time periods and genres. Whether the setting is wartime Europe, Victorian England, or contemporary America, Mathews brings the same careful research and plotting that define her series work.
