The Ladies of Lantern Street series is written under the Amanda Quick name and set in Victorian England. The three books follow members of a women-run private investigation agency on Lantern Street as they take on cases that society would prefer to ignore. Crystal Gardens (2012), The Mystery Woman (2013), and Otherwise Engaged (2014) each feature a different investigator paired with a romantic interest who gets drawn into her dangerous work.

The series plays to Krentz’s strengths in combining mystery with romance in a historical setting. The female investigators are resourceful and independent, and the Victorian setting provides plenty of atmospheric potential for the suspense elements.
