Um þessa rafbók
“This is a perfect read for those who crave Victorian mysteries in the tradition of Anne Perry's Thomas Pitt novels.” —Library Journal
Lizzie Martin, lady’s companion, has been sent from London to the New Forest to comfort a new mother whose baby has tragically died. A sad enough task, but things take an even darker turn when a rat-catcher is found murdered, and the young woman is discovered beside the body, crying and covered in blood. Not knowing where else to turn, Lizzie calls upon her friend Inspector Ben Ross to solve the horrific crime. Together, they find themselves entangled in a mystery as bewildering as any they’ve faced.
“Engaging.” –Publishers Weekly
“An involving story, likable main characters, and well-developed . . . secondary characters.” —Booklist
“Lizzie copes nicely with barking dogs, snapping aunts and gentlemen who shade the truth.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A dandy mystery and a vivid evocation of another time and place, A Mortal Curiosity is another triumph for Granger and her appealing heroine.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
