Secrets for a Duchess

Duchess of Blackmoore Mysteries, Book 6

By: Nellie H. Steele

Narrated by: Sarah Kempton

A dead maid. A poisoned aristocrat. A deadly secret buried deep.

Lenora Fletcher is no stranger to murder. But when the ghost of a teenage maid appears with a chilling warning—someone is going to kill Lord MacCovington—Lenora is thrust into another dark mystery. And this time, she might be the prime suspect.

As Lenora investigates, aided by her spectral friend Tilly and her ever-skeptical companions, she uncovers whispers of blackmail, a masked figure, and a secret so vile it’s worth killing for. When Lady MacCovington is fatally poisoned in front of her, and suspicion falls squarely on Lenora, time runs out. To clear her name, she must unravel a twisted web of lies—and unmask a murderer hiding in plain sight.

If you enjoy clever heroines, Gothic estates, and haunting secrets from the past, you’ll love Secrets for a Duchess, the sixth installment in Nellie H. Steele’s immersive historical mystery series.

Step into the shadows. Uncover the truth. Listen now and discover the secrets waiting at Blackmoore Castle.
