Author Event: The Trickiest Things About Writing a Historical Mystery
Author Patrice McDonough presents a program about her latest historical mystery Murder By Lamplight.
When a vengeful, sadistic killer terrorizes London twenty years before Jack the Ripper will stalk its same streets, an unlikely duo is prompted to investigate: one of Britain’s first female physicians, Dr. Julia Lewis, and Scotland Yard’s Inspector Richard Tennant, a Crimean War veteran with lingering physical and psychological wounds.
“This atmospheric, strong debut features two intriguing lead characters…Fans of Victorian mysteries, medical mysteries, and detective duos will appreciate this historical suspense. Suggest for fans of Andrea Penrose or Ritu Mukerji’s debut.” —Library Journal STARRED REVIEW
