I'm currently reading Cry of the Innocent by Julie Bates. This book is the first in the Faith Clarke Mystery series and was released last year.
In 1774 Virginia Widow Faith Clarke is doing her best to run her tavern, saddled as she is with her late husband’s debts. When the greedy Phineas Bullard demands use of her private room, Faith has no choice as most of her debts belong to him. Early the next morning her slave, Titus, finds the man butchered in the private room. Although a British captain is investigating, Faith believes it prudent to do what she can to find the killer, before her tavern’s reputation is maligned, or worse, she and her slaves are accused of murder.
