Some secrets were never meant to be forgotten. Some angels never meant to leave.
When Harriet Lisle inherits a building in the hidden lanes of Covent Garden, she finds more than a property. She finds a door that has been waiting for her, a key that fits a lock nobody remembers, and an angel.
Claude Beaumont has been here since 1692. He cannot leave. He does not entirely know why. But he has been watching over this building and the people who pass through it for three hundred years, with the particular patience of someone who understands that the right person will eventually arrive.
Harriet is a former barrister, recently widowed, starting over in a city that holds more than she expected. She is warm and clever and entirely unafraid of difficult truths. And she has a gift, she feels the history of things through her hands, the warmth of objects that have been keeping something for a long time.
When a woman's body is found in the wings of the Royal Opera House and a secret buried for decades begins to surface, Harriet and Claude find themselves working together across the threshold of the ordinary and the extraordinary. She asks the questions. He keeps the faith. And somewhere between the two of them, the truth finds its way home.
Around them, a community gathers. From the coffee shop, to the flower market, and the antique shop, and Gabriel Shaw, the detective who arrives asking questions and stays for reasons neither of them has quite named yet.
A cosy angel mystery set in the most storied streets in London. Warm, wise, and altogether impossible to put down.
