|title=Then We Die: An Inspector Carlyle Novel
|rating=3.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=If you were wondering where you might find Inspector John Carlyle, then having afternoon tea in the Palm Court at the Ritz might not be the first place which comes to mind. But don't worry - he's not gone upmarket - he's treating his mother and it comes as a bit of a shock when she announces that she's divorcing his father after fifty years of marriage. Carlyle thinks that what looks like a bit of trouble kicking off might be a welcome diversion - he's not ''big'' on family relationships - but he could never have imagined the ramifications of slipping away from table whilst his mother went to the ladies.

Her father dead, her elder sister dying during childbirth as the result of an affair with King James IV and now her brother Benoit missing after the Battle of Flodden.
