A Lethal Lesson.
5/5 Stairs. A missing person, an unconscious victim, and a hit-and-run. There's a lot going on in King's Cove. Highly recommended for those who enjoy historical fiction/mystery, strong female leads (think Maisie Dobbs!), and mysteries that dive into not just the whodunit but the why?
The Lions of Fifth Avenue. A mini review.
5/5 Stairs. Excellent historical fiction: takes place in the NYPL, features two female protagonists, and alternates between 1913 and 1993. Don't miss it.
An Extravagant Death – A Historical Mystery to Savor.
5/5 Stairs. The mystery itself is both straightforward and complex at the same time. There are plenty of suspects, and Newport even feels like a character itself.
