Newly Released:
A Romantic Regency Murder Mystery:
Book Blurb:
It is 1814
Regency England, and Captain Jack Trevellian RN (Royal Navy) has returned home
to South Devon. But on the eve of his return, a young woman is murdered. Three
more murders occur in quick succession, and Captain Jack is convinced someone
wishes to see him dangling from a hangman’s noose. Determined to uncover the
identity of the killer, Captain Jack and his army friend Captain Lester Knight,
stir more trouble than anticipated when their aristocratic neighbour brings
rank to bear in matters of the judicial system.
Although
young women in the district are warned to travel about in pairs, when the
vicar’s daughter and a young lady (of whom Trevellian is rather attached) hear
blood-curdling screams in Lyn Woods, they are thankful Captain Jack provided an
armed guard to keep them safe. Nonetheless, wilful, bold and daring, and all
for love of Captain Jack, Alathea Velvet Hawkesworth attempts to lure the
murderer from the shadows at a grand masque ball. The true identity of the murderous
villain is not as imagined, and she fears she will die a terrible death whilst
laughter, music and heady scent of roses drift on a balmy evening breeze, and
all within a palatial setting.
