The Verity Kent series follows a woman whose wartime service as a spy left her with skills that peacetime society has no use for — until people start dying. Nine novels published between 2017 and 2026 place Verity in post-World War I England, where the trauma of the war years makes every relationship suspect and every secret potentially dangerous.
Starting with This Side of Murder, the series combines historical mystery with the personal cost of espionage. Verity’s marriage to a man she barely knew before the war adds domestic tension to the criminal investigations, and the shadow of wartime secrets follows her through each case.
