I've sort of run to the end of my ability to read KJ Charles, I know her use of tropes too well (and I keep noticing that she's very bad at writing good mothers. It was the point where the main character's mother literally drove off a cliff...) I was thinking of Death in the Spires, but also, I read the first chapter and thought "either your Two Pioneering Oxford Women or your One Pioneering Oxford Black Man can turn out to be villains", so unless this was going to be like Endless Night by Agatha Christie (I just watched a 'can I solve Christie' youtube video about it).

I know lots of people love KJ Charles! But I don't, and also, she's sometimes rude about Georgette Heyer and then rewrites her except queerer, which annoys me.
