When the dowager receives an unexpected invitation from Queen Victoria herself to attend a grand concert at the Royal Albert Hall, she suspects there's more at stake than music. A foreign dignitary's sudden death soon confirms it.
Confined to bed after a health scare, a very pregnant Tabitha must lend her sharp mind from afar, guiding Wolf and their new friend, the indomitable American heiress Isabella, through a maze of coded messages, vanished guests, and diplomatic whispers.
The trio must tread carefully as rumours swirl of anarchists, spies, and scandal within the highest circles. One wrong move could spark an international incident. They must act quickly, but discreetly, mindful of their reputations and of the trust placed in them by their sovereign.
Elegant, witty, and full of intrigue, A Lyrical Woman reunites readers with Tabitha, Wolf, and the formidable Dowager Countess of Pembroke in a tale of courage, cunning, and devotion to both family and Crown.
