The murder of a shipping clerk…The strange disappearance of friends…Rumors of corruption within the East India Company… In the new installment of the atmospheric Wrexford & Sloane Mystery series set in Regency London, brilliant scientist Earl of Wrexford and secret cartoonist Charlotte Sloane become entangled in a dangerous web of secrets and lies that will call into question how much they really know about the people they hold dear—and about each other… “Scientific discoveries combine with a complex mystery to provide an action-packed brainteaser.” —Kirkus. “This thoughtful blend of derring-do and intellectual discussion should win Penrose new fans.” —Publishers Weekly Whether medieval London, 1920s India, or 1940s Los Angeles, these historical mystery series are sure to help you forget how horrible things are in the real world, at least for a few hundred pages. Then again, I count 50 books between these 10 series so far, so there should be several thousand pages to keep you swept away.
