Love Sherlock Holmes? Meet the Irregulars in The Isolated Séance by Jeri Westerson, the first in the Irregular Detective Mysteries series. Sherlock Holmes’s protégés, Tim Badger and Benjamin Watson, work their first case when a man is murdered during a séance. Clever with twists and aid from the man himself, you’ll want to listen to this tale narrated by Noah James Butler.
I look forward to the next Wrexford & Sloane Mystery all year and, despite being delayed; the audiobook was well worth the wait. Murder at King’s Crossing by Andrea Penrose delivered a suspenseful and clever murder mystery while allowing listeners to catch up with our favorite sleuths and their misfit posse. Narrated by James Cameron Stewart, you’ll want to be sure to grab this historical murder-mystery.
A Measure of Menace by Jennifer Ashley is the newest novella in the Kat Halloway Mysteries series. It was the perfect fix as we await the next full-length novel. The Mayfair house is empty while the family resides in the country, but the unexpected arrival of Lord Clifford, Lady Cynthia’s father, brings trouble.
I love the Below Stairs Mysteries from Jennifer Ashley, including the novellas. Mrs. Holloway’s Christmas Pudding is a holiday novella in which our cook Kat Holloway is blamed when a dinner guest mysteriously takes ill and she’s been tasked with creating the perfect Christmas feast. Can she clear her good name?
I love the Rip in Time series by Kelley Armstrong and was delighted to get early access to Schemes & Scandals, a holiday novella. A modern day female detective finds herself in Victorian Scotland where she helps a doctor and a constable solve murders. It’s Mallory Atkinson’s first Christmas and she and Dr. Gray must solve a blackmailing case.
