Monroe & Co. Mysteries by A.C. Riddles-Hill follows Edmund Monroe, a private investigator, and Amelia Smith, his amateur sleuth partner, as they solve high-stakes cases in late Victorian England—in which social etiquette, class disparities, and wealth (or the lack thereof) dictate virtually every aspect of life for themselves and their clients. Throughout the series, the charming duo face their own personal battles while solving mysteries on behalf of people from all walks of life who confront the challenges of an often-callous world. As the stakes of their personal saga develop with each installment of their story, the characters must navigate the unforgiving societal rules that challenge the fulfillment of their most human desires.
