Syrie James on her latest book, the last in her trilogy The Audacious Sisterhood of Smoke & Fire – it releases today, October 28, 2025!
| DANGER AT DARKMOOR PARK: A VICTORIAN MURDER MYSTERY |
| Hidden treasure. Murder. Mystery. Romance. All while snowbound at Christmas. DANGER AT DARKMOOR PARK is out in the wild today! The book is set at an English country manor house over the Christmas holidays, where a group of suspicious guests are trapped during a blizzard, and murder and mayhem (and romance!) ensue. My smart, bold, take-charge heroine, Selena Taylor, enlists a handsome, mysterious doctor who arrives out of the storm, to help her investigate two murders and to find a cache of hidden money. Selena and Dr. Scott make a brilliant sleuthing team—which is complicated when they fall heart-poundingly in love and find themselves in terrible danger. But secrets abound, and the man who has stolen her heart is definitely hiding something. Can she trust him and stay two steps ahead of a determined killer? DANGER AT DARKMOOR PARK is book 3 in my Audacious Sisterhood of Smoke & Fire series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. It was so much fun to write this book. I hope you love it! Available in trade paperback, e-book, and on Kindle Unlimited. |
