Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Marie R. of Horseheads, NY won A Gift of Bones. Jane R. from Driftwood, TX will receive Deck the Hounds.The books will go out in the mail today.

I have two mysteries set in the Victorian era, although one starts just at the end of it. In fact, that really is just at the end for Tasha Alexander’s Uneasy Lies the Crown. On her deathbed, Queen Victoria slips a note to Colin Hargreaves, a trusted agent of the Crown. It says, “One and no more. Dare to know.” While the entire nation grieves, Lady Emily and her husband, Colin, are dealing with that mystery. A body found in the Tower of London has been posed to look like the murder of medieval king Henry VI. Then, another body shows up, posed like another dead king. Emily searches for answers while Colin continues to receive anonymous notes that seem to threaten Victoria’s successor.

Jennifer Ashley’s Scandal Above Stairs takes cook Kat Holloway out of her kitchen to investigate. When priceless artwork goes missing from some of the homes of Mayfair’s wealthiest families, Kat teams up with a friend, now a pawnbroker, to find the thief and a killer.
