Death Among the Nightingales
First published 2021
London in 1895. Matthew and Adelaide West are now happily married with a one-year-old daughter. But Adelaide has always sought after a profession outside of the home. And when celebrated nursing reformer, Florence Nightingale, offers her a job, she cannot refuse.
A Fenian bomb has blasted through the Officers’ Mess inside the Waterloo Barracks at the Tower of London, and Adelaide and the ‘Nightingale Nurses’ are sent to care for them in the Tower Ward. But before long, some of the nurses are brutally attacked. And rumours start to spread that Jack the Ripper has returned. With Adelaide at risk, Matthew and Carlyle begin their own investigations within the Tower walls.
