Hutton, Callie

The follow-up to A Study in Murder is a fun, character-driven mystery with two unconventional amateur sleuths. The emphasis on Victorian lifestyle in a humorous cozy should satisfy fans of atmospheric historical mysteries.

Hutton, known for her best-selling historical romances (His Rebellious Lass), brings that background to this atmospheric start of a humorous new series, blending historical elements and quirky characters into an enjoyable and lively Victorian mystery.

Hutton (The Elusive Wife) twists the "marriage of convenience" trope around with skill and humor. Readers will find themselves rooting for these two passionate and intelligent protagonists while also enjoying the supporting cast and the engaging subplot that make this a worthwhile read.
