I'm currently reading A Tale of Two Murders by Heather Redmond. This book is the first in the Dickens of a Crime Mystery series.

Young journalist Charles Dickens is enjoying an Epiphany feast at the home of his employer, enjoying both the food and the company, especially that of his host's charming daughter. When dessert is disrupted by a scream emanating from a neighboring home Charles, along with Mr. Hogarth and his daughter Kate, go to investigate only to find a troubling scene. The seventeen year old daughter at the mansion has become suddenly, violently ill. By the morning she's dead. What could have happened to this healthy young woman? Food gone bad? Or poisoning of a more nefarious type? When Charles learns that a year prior, also on Epiphany, another seventeen year old girl died he begins to wonder if it's more than just a coincidence. As Charles and the intrepid Kate begin to investigate they uncover far more than they ever bargained for.
