Not Sure How I Feel About As Death Draws Near
As Death Draws Near, the fifth novel in Anna Lee Huber’s Lady Darby Mystery Series, started off on an interesting foot. We have a sudden summons to Ireland, the return of a troublesome character from the first book, and a sensitive significance of religion as the tensions bubble between Protestant and Catholics. Unfortunately, it didn’t…

The Cutest Novella – A Pressing Engagement
What a sweet little novella to divulge into an aspect of the series that definitely couldn’t have anything larger attached to it. A Pressing Engagement by Anna Lee Huber is the novella set after A Study of Death which ties up some of the more relevant plot points from its predecessor. I’m not being sarcastic…

Evil Knows No Bounds in Murder at Queen’s Landing
This one is my favourite so far and that was made abundantly clear with my recent reread. Andrea Penrose’s Wrexford and Sloane series just continues to grow and improve with each release. Murder at Queen’s Landing is no exception but she sure is exceptional! With the introduction of more characters into the tight-knit circle the…

Intrigue and Scandal in Murder at Kensington Palace
There is no breaking the hold Andrea Penrose has on me. Murder at Kensington Palace, third novel in the Wrexford and Sloane Mystery Series, throws a hefty punch with its intense pressure on the characters, its waltz into more fields of intellect and intrigue, and its tension ad pacing that skip along hand in hand,…

The Grave Matter of A Grave Matter
Anna Lee Huber’s third instalment in the Lady Darby Mystery Series, A Grave Matter, had me rolling; rolling with laughter, rolling my eyes, rolling over and screaming into the pillow. Many rolls were had while reading this and many rolls, particularly forehead ones, were made trying to remember what happens in this book. Let’s start…

The Plot Thickens in Murder at Half Moon Gate
Continuing on with the Wrexford and Sloane Mystery Series by Andrea Penrose, Murder at Half Moon Gate drives straight to the point and immerses us into the dirty, dark world of London’s more unpleasant neighbourhoods from the get go. That’s one thing I really love about historical fiction murder mystery books – we get right…

The Anatomist’s Wife – Good Ol’ Scottish Historical Fiction Murder Mystery
I’m a historical fiction fanatic. More specifically, the murder mystery side of historical fiction. I can and will read other historical fiction books but my heart lies with the slightly gruesome, dark, immersive worlds of sleuthing and investigating while in polite society. The Anatomist’s Wife by Anna Lee Huber ticks so many boxes for me…
