I'm currently reading Murder at the Marlowe Club by Kate Parker. This book is the second in the Milliner Mystery series and was released last week.
Taking a shortcut through a private park, milliner Emily Gates discovers the dead body of a woman. Lady Kaldaire soon joins the scene and recognizes the woman as the notorious Lady Roxanne, wife of the equally reprobate Lord Theodore who died mere weeks before. Although Emily just wants to return to her business and make more hats, Lady Kaldaire has other ideas. The murdered woman was the daughter-in-law of her good friend and Lady Kaldaire is determined to make Emily help her solve the murder. With Lady Kaldaire threatening to tell all of Emily's clients that her family is comprised of criminals, thereby ruining her, Emily reluctantly complies. Will Emily's new friends be able to help her survive the debauchery found at the Marlowe Club? Or will she encounter something even more sinister?
Oh, I love historicals...and am enjoying this one.
