Cover for the book Murder on Black Swan Lane by Andrea Penrose

A Nobleman Who Dabbles In Chemistry and an Artist Who Pokes Fun at Politics Solve Crime

Murder On Black Swan Lane by Andrea Penrose

December 17, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

The Earl of Wrexford is more interested in chemistry than society or his reputation.  So when the satirist A. J. Quill skewers his current conflict with an anti-science preacher, Wrexford doesn’t much care.  However, when said preacher is murdered and Bow Street decides that he’s the most likely culprit, Wrexford sets out to clear his name, and since Quill seems always know details that no one else does, he plans on tracking down the cartoonist.  Charlotte Sloane took up her husband’s trade after his death […]

More action hero-y than your usual Regency stuff

December 5, 2018 by Bothari43 Leave a Comment

This is a fairly fluffy (but not to the level of ‘cozy,’ I don’t think) mystery, the first in a series and a pretty good set-up for more. Rachel York, an actress in 1800s London is brutally murdered, one of Sebastian St. Cyr’s dueling pistols is found on the scene, and “St. Cyr” is written in Rachel’s daily planner for the evening she died.
