pickA well written cozy mystery, based loosely on real events. Set in Victorian England, it feels well-researched. Multiple story lines and secrets kept me guessing until the end. I‘m looking forward to reading more of this series.

pickAs the first in the Dr. Julia Lewis mystery series, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this one and how much I‘m looking forward to more.
Set in 1866 London, after studying in America, Julia Lewis is one of Britain‘s first female physicians and finds herself having to prove herself in a man‘s realm. As a stand-in for her ailing grandfather, she is called to the scene of a grisly murder and finds herself working with the skeptical🔻
pickThis was such a cozy read. I enjoyed the author‘s discussion of periodical archives at the end, too. The mystery was relatively straightforward but plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing.

pickI've had this on my shelf since 2005. A Victorian holiday mystery: when Sir George Braxton is found face down in a frozen pond with his head bashed in, Inspector Witherspoon is called in to solve the case. Only the help of his housekeeper, Mrs. Jeffries, and her staff will allow the inspector to have a peaceful Christmas. A fast and fun read along the lines of a Christie mystery. I may now have to read all of them.
