About Murder in Postscript
Murder in Postscript (A Lady of Letters Mystery)
Historical Cozy Mystery 1st in Series Setting - Victorian London, 1860 Berkley (March 28, 2023) Paperback : 320 pages ISBN-10 : 0593548760 ISBN-13 : 978-0593548769 Digital ASIN : B0B5D5HW3K
When one of her readers asks for advice following a suspected murder, Victorian countess Amelia Amesbury, who secretly pens the popular Lady Agony column, has no choice but to investigate in this first book in a charming new historical mystery series.
Amelia Amesbury—widow, mother, and countess—has a secret. Amelia writes for a London penny paper, doling out advice on fashion, relationships, and manners under the pen name Lady Agony. But when a lady’s maid writes Amelia to ask for advice when she believes her mistress has been murdered—and then ends up a victim herself—Amelia is determined to solve the case.
With the help of her best friend and a handsome marquis, Amelia begins to piece together the puzzle, but as each new thread of inquiry ends with a different suspect, the investigation grows ever more daunting. From London’s docks and ballrooms to grand country houses, Amelia tracks a killer, putting her reputation—and her life—on the line.
My Review: I thought this was an excellent beginning to a new historical cozy mystery series! Amelia was a great main character, and I liked the other characters, too. The mystery was well written. And I love mysteries that take place in the past, it's always fun to read. Overall, I think this was a wonderful book, and I would definitely recommend to anyone who thinks it sounds interesting!
I received an e-ARC from the publisher and blog tour company.
