Rose Pascoe writes historical mysteries with a dash of romance, when she isn’t plotting real-life adventures.
She lives in beautiful New Zealand, land of beaches and mountains, where long walks provide the perfect conditions for dreaming up plots and fickle weather provides the incentive to sit down and actually write the darn things.
After a career in health, justice and social research, her passion is for stories set against a backdrop of social revolution. Her heroines are ordinary women, who meet the challenges thrown at them with determination, ingenuity, courage, and humour.

French Legacy
|
A young widow desperate to escape. A past that won't let her go.
"A cracking good story!" "I was instantly transported to another time and place."
The year is 1841. Victoria is on the throne, but women are not in control of their own destiny. Elisabeth Godwin is facing a grim future after the death of her husband. Her brother-in-law is desperate to avoid ruin and determined to remove the threat she poses to him, leaving an escape to the colonies as her only option.
An epic voyage in a crowded sailing ship brings its own challenges, from ferocious storms to social rivalries and single men in want of a wife. But the greatest challenge of all will be figuring out who her enemies are and why they are pursuing her, before it is too late. Courage and ingenuity alone will not be enough to survive, but who can she trust to help? And who can she trust with her heart?
Read as a stand-alone novel or as Book 2 in the French Legacy trilogy.
"I was hooked into it from the first page."
