Secrets of the Nile, which releases on October 4th, will be the sixteenth entry in Alexander’s bestselling Lady Emily Mystery series set in the Victorian era. Theseries began in And Only to Deceive with Lady Emily embracing the freedoms afforded by widowhood after the husband she’d wed only to escape her overbearing mother is killed while on safari in Africa.
