About the Book: When newly-widowed Lily Adler returns to London society in 1815, she is no stranger to the glittering world of London’s upper crust. At a ball thrown by her oldest friend, Lady Walter, she expects the scandal, gossip, and secrets. What she doesn’t expect is the dead body in Lady Walter’s garden.

Lily is willing to leave the matter to the local constables until Lord Walter bribes the investigating magistrate to drop the case. Aided by a roguish navy captain and a mysterious heiress from the West Indies, Lily must discover whether her friend’s husband is mixed up in blackmail and murder—before she becomes the killer’s next target.

About the Author:  Katharine Schellman studied theatre and history at the College of William & Mary, after which she went on to dance professionally, marry her college sweetheart, and collect addresses up and down the east coast of the United States. The Body in the Garden is her debut novel. Katharine currently lives and writes in the mountains of Virginia, and she is still recovering from that time she worked in political consulting.
