Murder in Drury Lane
Combining elements of an Agatha Christie–style whodunit with the vivid portrayal of a more encompassing view of Regency-era England, the second Lady Worthing mystery (following Murder in Westminster) does not disappoint.
PREMIUM
Queen of Exiles
Recommended for all public libraries, Riley’s inventive and vivid depiction of a vital piece of Haitian history is well researched and absorbing. Queen Marie-Louise will enchant readers.
PREMIUM
Murder in Westminster
Readers of Regency-era mysteries will enjoy the book, but the audio is a nonessential purchase for most libraries.
PREMIUM
Murder in Westminster
Riley’s introduction to Lady Worthing is a bit overstuffed with plot and subplots, but fans of Regency-era historical mysteries featuring intelligent heroines (such as Andrea Penrose’s Lady Arianna or Tasha Alexander’s Lady Emily) will find this series a welcome addition to the genre.
Sister Mother Warrior
Riley has written a well-researched gripping novel about an enslaved people gaining freedom, with the emotional connections among the main players as its beating heart.
PREMIUM
A Duke, the Spy, an Artist, and a Lie
The trilogy is best read as a whole, as the secret in this last book hinges on a special connection among all the characters. This witty series is ideal for anyone eagerly anticipating the next season of Bridgerton.
PREMIUM
An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler
Move over, Bridgertons. There’s a new set of scandalous aristocrats waiting to take London society by storm.
PREMIUM
A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby
There’s enough camp in this story to house an army, but debuter Riley delivers a fine first outing in what looks to be a promising new series, welcoming a determined West Indian heroine to the Regency subgenre.
