Penrose and Pyke's wedding dream turns to ashes when the local women's refuge goes up in flames.

Grace Penrose is used to protesters at Lavender House, but she never expected them to set the refuge on fire, especially not on her wedding day. Watching Charlie Pyke disappear into the inferno was definitely not on her mother's carefully orchestrated wedding plan.

The discovery of a woman's body in the smouldering ruins rouses Grace and Charlie's detective instincts. With marital bliss on their minds, an investigation is the last thing they need. But how can they ignore a possible murder?

The 'Penrose & Pyke Mysteries' are a series of heart-warming, pulse-racing historical mysteries, set during a remarkable period of social upheaval in 1890s New Zealand.
