In the latest installment of the Lady and Lady’s Maid mystery series by Alyssa Maxwell, Lady Phoebe Renshaw and her maid Eva Huntford are enthusiastic about opening the Renshaw family estate for tours. However, the rest of the Renshaw family has some misgivings, which are soon realized beyond their expectations when a tour guest isContinueContinue reading “A Deadly Endowment – Alyssa Maxwell”

The Barrister and the Letter of Marque – Todd M. Johnson
As far as a NetGalley find goes, The Barrister and the Letter of Marque was a hidden gem. I wasn’t very into it at first, but as it picked up speed, I became very intrigued. In 1818 London, young lawyer William Snopes has hit a high point in his career of representing the average personContinueContinue reading “The Barrister and the Letter of Marque – Todd M. Johnson”
Death Below Stairs – Jennifer Ashley
I couldn’t get a hold of Jennifer Ashley’s first novella in this series, A Soupcon of Poison, so I started with the first full book, Death Below Stairs. I am not a huge fan of novellas as it is (too short, plain and simple), so I’m not incredibly concerned about missing it. Plus, I foundContinueContinue reading “Death Below Stairs – Jennifer Ashley”
Miss Tavistock’s Mistake – Linore Rose Burkard
I have to admit, when Ms. Burkard approached me with reviewing Miss Tavisotck’s Mistake, I was a little hesitant, as I’m more of a mystery person than romance. However, I do love some romance in my mysteries, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was far from disappointed, and if you’d like toContinueContinue reading “Miss Tavistock’s Mistake – Linore Rose Burkard”
Murder in the Queen’s Wardrobe – Kathy Lynn Emerson
Murder in the Queen’s Wardrobe was an experience for me, as it was my first novel of Kathy Lynn Emerson’s that I’ve read, and also my first novel that I’ve read on my Kindle! For those of you following along at home, I’ve purchased a Kindle due to my library being closed during the COVID-19ContinueContinue reading “Murder in the Queen’s Wardrobe – Kathy Lynn Emerson”
The Lost Boys of London – Mary Lawrence
I was given an ARC of Mary Lawrence’s The Lost Boys of London by the author herself – thanks, Mary! This novel is the fifth and final novel in the Bianca Goddard mystery series. It comes out on April 28, which means that you all are less than a month away from reading this well-writtenContinueContinue reading “The Lost Boys of London – Mary Lawrence”
Secrets in the Stones – Tessa Harris
I felt obligated to read this book since I have read all of the others – although, to be honest, I just skimmed the previous one. This is the latest and, I think, last book in the Dr. Silkstone series, I am happy to report. I wrote a really positive review of The Lazarus Curse,ContinueContinue reading “Secrets in the Stones – Tessa Harris”
The Lazarus Curse – Tessa Harris
I’ve just put down The Lazarus Curse by Tessa Harris; it’s the fourth book in the Dr. Thomas Silkstone mysteries. Although a bit dark – even darker than Sebastian St. Cyr, at times – this was a gripping read that I wanted to follow through until the end. Dr. Thomas Silkstone, quasi-betrothed to Lady LydiaContinueContinue reading “The Lazarus Curse – Tessa Harris”
When Gods Die – C.S. Harris
I enjoyed this second installment of the Sebastian St. Cyr series much more than the first. The writing and plot were great in both, I just don’t care for the fugitive-on-the-run plot line. However, it was brave of Harris to use that for Sebastian’s debut novel, and I can’t argue it because it established allContinueContinue reading “When Gods Die – C.S. Harris”
Malice at the Palace – Rhys Bowen
In the tenth installment of the Royal Spyness series, Bowen delivers a novel that I concluded with mixed feelings. The mystery was average, at best, but I was totally sucked into Lady Georgianna Rannoch’s personal life and feelings. As I’ve now read ten of her novels, I’ve concluded that Bowen does an extraordinary job withContinueContinue reading “Malice at the Palace – Rhys Bowen”
