Murder. History. Masterpieces.
Every art masterpiece has a story. Some are written in blood.
The Jade Beckham Mysteries follow modern-day art restorer Jade Beckham as a mystifying portal sends her into extraordinary moments in the past—where celebrated artists, carefully guarded secrets, and murder await.
From Renoir's gaslit Paris to Goya's royal Spain, Sargent's Gilded Age Europe, and Hiroshige's Japan, each novel combines the satisfying puzzle of a classic whodunit with immersive history and a subtle twist of time travel.
The seven-book serial begins with Revenge Among the Renoirs, Jade's first journey to Paris in 1880.

Jade Beckham swore she’d never use the time portal again. But when fate pulls her back through the veil of time, she finds herself at the lavish Palace of Aranjuez in 1787—a place brimming with luxury, desire, and death.
Book 3
The year is 1897. The place: the glittering Brussels World’s Fair. Portrait maestro John Singer Sargent is staying with the powerful Braxton family while completing a prestigious portrait commission.

Jade's become obsessed. She simply must find out more about a group of time travelers plaguing artists throughout history. Why are they doing this? What are they after? But as she heads to Japan in 1832, she finds herself embroiled in her most dangerous mission yet.
