This picnic is turning out to be no picnic… Annabel and her parents are off to Eton to join her sons for the students’ annual celebration of the King’s birthday, observed with boat races on the Thames, fireworks, and a picnic by the river—which the boys seem to be especially looking forward to, considering the number of cakes and sandwiches they’ve begged Annabel to bring.

Thanks to a platter of pastries and some quick thinking by the marquis, tragedy is averted…but the Ladies of Almack’s are concerned by what happened on the river, and why… Turmoil on the Thames is the fifth installment of The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

Vandalized art. An unsuited suitor. And the summer’s only beginning… The Ladies of Almack’s are shocked to discover that someone is vandalizing the pictures at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition: the portraits and landscapes are being subtly altered to make malicious fun of the head of the Exhibition, Sir Henry Hebbly, and his wife. Annabel knows the Hebblys: Sir Henry is a bit of a bully, but who could wish to hurt his darling wife? The Ladies’ talents—especially her shadow-shaping abilities—will solve the case, but are the culprits Annabel catches the ones truly at fault? And magical art sabotage isn’t the only thing on her mind. Surely she should be delighted that the attentions of a new admirer, the Marquis of Glenrick, are becoming marked: after all, he’s heir to a dukedom. But she’s beginning to think she might prefer the attentions of a different marquis… The Cursed Canvases is the fourth installment of The Ladies of Almack’s series by Marissa Doyle.

A best-selling author. A missing manuscript. The readers of London are raging... The popular but reclusive author E.C. Spruce has outdone himself with a delicious new three-volume novel, The Fifty Shades of Udolpho, and all of London—including Annabel and the Lady Patronesses of Almack’s—are devouring it.

Sophie's entrance into London society isn't what she thought it would be: Mama isn't there to guide her. Papa is buried in his work fighting Napoleon.

When the dashing Lord Woodbridge starts showing an interest in Sophie, she wants to believe it's genuine, but she can't be sure he's feeling anything more than pity. Sophie's problems escalate when someone uses magic to attack Papa at the Whistons' ball and it soon becomes clear that all the members of the War Office are being targeted. Can Sophie regain her own powers, find her balance, make a match--and save England? Find out in Marissa Doyle's Courtship and Curses!
