Araminta Jewell is one of the beauties of her day. Even her marriage to the staid and ugly Sir Martin Culthorpe has not discouraged her hordes of admirers. It is during her first sitting for a portrait painted by the fashionable French artist Jean-Paul Villemot that the architect Christopher Redmayne meets the lovely Lady Culthorpe, although he has heard much about her through his brother Henry, one of her most ardent pursuers. Before the portrait can be finished and revealed, however, Sir Martin is murdered. Joining forces with his good friend, the puritan constable Jonathan Bale, Christopher embarks on a quest to discover the killer's real identity. In his latest Restoration mystery, Edward Marston, the master of historical detail, reveals the dark and often debauched depths of seventeenth-century London society.

Whisperings can tell of the past, sometimes good or sometimes sad, if one will only listen. Tricia lives in a charming, historical Victorian home when strange things begin to occur. While cleaning, she swears she feels someone watching her. The walls seem to vibrate, and mist fills the room. With Tricia frozen in terror, the whispers begin. Tricia begins to think she is going crazy due to the voices she hears in her old home. As she gives in to curiosity and starts to listen, though, she connects with voices of the past. She learns ancient things that demand to be told—but who would believe something so otherworldly and strange? Night Whispers of a Painted Lady is a heartwarming novel weaving together the stories of multiple families who inhabit the same Victorian home over several generations. A beautiful woman is ready to reveal her secrets, but she must first find an attentive ear. One must be still and listen in order to realize the amazing mysteries of this painted lady.
