by Mary Winters
Murder in Season (A Lady of Letters Mystery)
Historical Cozy Mystery
3rd in Series
Setting – London, 1860
Publisher : Severn House; Main edition (December 3, 2024)
Hardcover : 240 pages
Join Countess turned advice columnist Amelia Amesbury as she tries to juggle a new Season and a new murder in this charmingly deadly historical mystery.
“A beautiful debutante, a wealthy widow, and a dead would-be baron. What could be more exciting?”
Countess by day, secret advice columnist by night, Amelia Amesbury has life happily balanced on a quill’s edge . . . until her sister Margaret shows up in London under a blanket of scandal and Amelia is catapulted out of mourning and into the ton’s unforgiving Season.
However Madge’s Season debut is marred by a rather inconvenient death at the dining table as the infamous Mr Radcliffe takes ill and is later confirmed dead by poisoning. With Madge being the last person to have cross words with the soon-to-be baron, the ton’s gossip mill – and the police – are looking to pin the murder on her.
Adding to the ton’s troubles is a jewellery thief targeting the most lavish of Society’s houses. Is the murderer and the thief one in the same? It falls to Amelia once again to uncover the secrets buried deep within the pages before her sister goes down for the crimes.
Perfect for fans of witty historical mystery and Regency romances with a similar feel to Verity Bright and T.E. Kinsey.
My review of Murder in Season
Murder in Season is the third installment in the delightfully charming Lady of Letters Mystery Series. You can enjoy this novel as a standalone since the author does a wonderful job of giving the background of the series without it seeming like she’s doing so. It just fits into the story naturally.
With each book, I come to love the characters even more. The addition of Amelia’s sister added a lot to the story. Madge, like Amelia, wasn’t raised in London or as a lady. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and doesn’t bother hiding her feelings. This gets her into trouble when a man is murdered at her debut ball since she made it perfectly clear she couldn’t stand him.
This Regency Cozy Mystery (with some swoony romance) is a must read for lovers of this genre! I loved it and hope that there will be many more Lady of Letters novels! 5 huge stars!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
