If you listen closely you can hear heels on cobblestone streets and feel the damp mist of foggy air. I have never been transported so quickly in time. England 1865 is where we are. Lady Katherine Bascomb is a columnist with a passion for solving mysteries.

It's all very Sherlock meets Agatha Christie. Set in an era where women are seen as silly and fragile, Lady Katherine proves she is anything but. Thankfully we have a smart man that knows better. Detective Inspector Andrew Eversham recognizes that he has met his intellectual equal and relishes the sparing.

It's an intelligently funny-historical mystery. 

Perfection!

From the cover...

England, 1865: 

Newspaper columnist Lady Katherine Bascomb finds herself the subject of speculation when her latest article leads to an arrest in the murders plaguing London. The English believe women ought not to write about such vulgar things as crime, and a particularly attractive detective inspector is incensed that she's interfered with his investigation. To escape her sudden notoriety, Katherine heads to the country-only to witness a murder upon her arrival.

Detective Inspector Andrew Eversham is appalled when Lady Katherine entangles herself in one of his cases-again. Her sensationalist reporting already nearly got him kicked off the police force, and he'll be damned if he permits her to meddle a second time. Yet, her questions are awfully insightful, and he can't deny his attraction to both her beauty and brains. As the clues point to a dangerous criminal, the two soon realize their best option is working together. But with their focus on the killer lurking in the shadows, neither is prepared for the other risk the case poses-to their hearts.
