Murder draped in silk. Secrets stitched into every seam.
When a gifted seamstress is found dead among bolts of fabric, strangled by her own measuring ribbons, society is quick to call it a tragic accident. But Lady Theodora Ashcombe suspects otherwise.
Summoned to Mayfair’s most fashionable dressmaking establishment, Theo and her clever cousin Bea soon discover hidden compartments, coded patterns woven into silks, and whispers of a smuggling network using fashion houses as cover.
As Inspector Hargrave and Jasper Welles clash over both the case and Theo’s safety, the trail of evidence leads straight to the world of espionage—where elegance masks treachery and betrayal can be cut from the same cloth.
With Pip’s keen nose for danger and Bea’s gift for cracking textile ciphers, Theo must unpick the lies before another innocent falls victim. But as society’s gaze sharpens on her newfound role as consulting detective, can she balance independence, duty, and the ever-growing tangle of her own heart?
✨ Fans of Deanna Raybourn, Anna Lee Huber, and Netflix’s Miss Scarlet will adore this witty and romantic Victorian cozy mystery.

into the gaslit world of The

My Review:
The Case of the Silk Widow was a fascinating and captivating tale that had me hooked from the start when Theo received a letter from Mrs. Ashworth requesting assistance in determining the true fate of her employer, Sarah Fletcher.
The third book in Daisy Landish's Lady Theodora Ashcoombe Mystery Series is titled The Case of the Silk Widow. With its numerous turns full of intrigue and mystery, The Case of the Silk Widow kept me glued to the page, wondering what had happened to Sarah. Did Sarah discover something that led to her demise?
I had a great time reading The Case of the Silk Widow, and I am eager to see what happens to Theo and Pip in the next installment of the Lady Theodora Ashcoombe Mystery Series. Which mystery will they encounter next?
Some of my best work I’ve seen in a long time is the world-building for the Lady Theodora Ashcoombe Mystery Series it always seems to leave me wanting more.
For another mystery to solve, I highly recommend picking up a copy of The Case of the Silk Widow right now!
