I loved Kate Parker’s Victorian Mystery Series. She has a great writing style and her stories feature strong women. I knew I would enjoy this book before I even started reading, but she exceeded all of my expectations.

And I’m ever so glad to hear that this is part of a series. It’s hard to get enough of our favorite characters, and Olivia definitely ranks on my list. I can’t wait to see what she gets up to next!

This mystery is a wonderfully written story, with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader engaged.

An exciting new series from
the author of The Victorian Bookshop Mysteries.

Synopsis:

Olivia Denis is a contented young wife with a carefree life in late 1930’s London. Then her world is shattered with the violent death of her husband, Reggie. The police want to call it a suicide and close the case, but Olivia knows Reggie couldn’t possibly have fired the fatal shot.

Further mysteries surface surrounding her husband’s death. Did the trustworthy Foreign Office employee betray government secrets? Was his murder linked to the death of a German embassy clerk the same night? And who searched their flat?

Her desire for answers and her need to support herself cause her to break away from the pampered life she’s known and take a job. But with the much-needed paycheck as a society reporter for a newspaper comes a secret secondary assignment—one that involves her in the increasingly dangerous world of European politics as the continent slides toward war.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Kate Parker has wanted to travel to 1930s England since she read her mother’s Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers mysteries when she was a schoolgirl. After many years of studying science, she decided a time travel machine was out of the question so she found herself limited to reading about the period and visiting historic sites. Her love of this fascinating and challenging period led her to the research from which the Deadly series grew. Eventually, she found it necessary to spend several days in the British Library reading old newspapers, which meant another trip to England. Near Christmas. A sacrifice she’d gladly make every year.

The first story in the series is Deadly Scandal, and she is hard at work on the sequel.

My review:

 Reggie and Olive Denis thought they had it all. They were both young and married. When Reggie is murdered and the police say it was murder Olivia decides that she will have to prove that her husband would not kill himself. When she starts to try to find out what happened she finds out things that make her question who her husband was and what was he doing? She gets a job to take care of herself as a reporter. Before she knows it her life is in danger. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review and all opinions are mine.
