About this listen

Sometimes one must lie to live her truth.

Stetson has been fooling London for ten years while her fictitious alter-ego solves crimes. But could a criminal mastermind put her carefree days of sleuthing in jeopardy?

Evelyn longs to be recognized for her talent; will her music prove to be the key in helping Stetson solve a mystery?

While Jack the Ripper terrorizes London, Stetson closes in on the art thief she has been after for months; however, will catching him place her in an impossible position which threatens to expose her?

New from Edale Lane, an award-winning, best-selling author of sapphic historical and mystery novels.

Daunting Dilemmas: The Wellington Mysteries, Vol. 3, Adventures of a Lesbian Victorian Detective is a collection of five sequential novellas, each encompassing its own exciting mystery while furthering the story of Stetson’s life in London. If you enjoy crime dramas, Victorian era fiction, or a sweet lesbian romance, then you’ll love Edale Lane’s Daunting Dilemmas.

I was gifted this book and decided to buy the first two in the series so I could listen to them in order. I'm so glad I did! A really fun set of several novellas in each book following lesbian Stetson Goody, the crime-busting main character, who, whilst appearing to the public as the female assistant who takes bookings and runs the detective agency for the secretly non-existent Mr Xavier Wellington, shielding him from the public and his customers, IS actually the mysterious detective herself, and solves many crimes not only in the undercover role of the male detective but as other male characters too. Throw in a bit of Victorian lesbian romance and you've got a very enjoyable set of books.

Great set of stories!

This was an interesting story. I’m so glad we have come a long way from there.
It certainly hits home how lucky we women are nowadays.
I loved the characters. They had great chemistry.
I would recommend reading this even if it just proves how far women have come from 1800.

Glad times have changed

These are such excellent stories bringing together a tender romance with interesting, Sherlock Holmes type mysteries. I’m a huge fan of Edale Lane’s period works and look forward to her next novel.

This is a collection of separate cases that I found well developed and believable. I don't want to say much more for fear of giving too much away. Just rest assured it is well developed and ties together nicely. No gimmick or tricks, its a well written work of intrigue and romance. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like Victorian England and how the author inserted historical tidbits here and there without being intrusive. This enjoyable audiobook wouldn't have been made possible without the delightful voice of the narrator. I shall miss her tomorrow.

Interesting characters + Intriguing stories = Delightful listening
