This historical mystery series is set during the late Georgian/pre-Victorian era and features Lady Darby, a widow with a scandalous past, and her fellow investigator, Sebastian Gage. This series follows the fortunes of the Kent family in America, from before the American Revolution when Phillipe Charboneau, the illegitimate son and unrecognized heir of the Duke of Kentland, changes his name to Philip Kent and arrives in the colony, until the late 19th century. I read them in this order: The Blooding of Jack Absolute, Absolute Honour and Jack Absolute. Confusing, I know, but you can choose to read them in chronological order or in the order in which they were written.

This series is a little unusual as the latter two novels are the prequel and sequel to the prequel respectively. This series is set during the reign of George III, when England was involved in the American War of Independence and fighting the French in Canada. Jack Absolute is described as ' the 007 of the 1770s'. It follows the glorious days of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitane, when they were a formidable couple, to the final disintegration of their marriage and family. This series begins in the 12th century during the early civil war between Stephen and his cousin, Maud, for the crown of England. Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitane Trilogy by Sharon Kay Penman
