I'm on a roll of excellent historical mystery/fantasy reads that shows no signs of ending! Due in part to my ill health the last week, I finished
The Hanged Man by P.N. Elrod
the first of a series, I'm pleased to note! This mystery laced with magic takes place in an alternate Victorian England any lover of Sherlock Holmes will enjoy. In this novel the magic makes perfect sense and posits preferable criminal investigative techniques than our present ones, that's for sure! Her characters are well-developed and I look forward to reading more about all of them.
A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain
In this novel, a time traveler from the present encounters a serial killer in Regency England. Fast-moving and led by a very unique female protagonist, this novel satisfies to the very last, (the very last) word! I liked that the author zigged where the reader would zag. I heartily approve of zigging!
