Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on a book on my TBR pile. Murder in Westminister by Vanessa Riley is the first in the Lady Worthing Mystery series.
Blurb:
Discovering a body on her property presents Lady Abigail Worthing
with more than one pressing problem. The victim is Juliet, the wife of
her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. Although Abigail has little
connection with the lady in question, she expects to be under suspicion.
Abigail’s skin color and her mother’s notorious past have earned her a
certain reputation among the ton, and no amount of wealth or status will eclipse it.
Abigail can’t divulge that she was attending a secret pro-abolition
meeting at the time of the murder. To her surprise, Henderson offers her
an alibi. Though he and Juliet were long estranged, he feels a certain
loyalty to his late wife. Perhaps together, he and Abigail can learn the
truth. . . . Abigail, whose marriage was not a love match, knows well
how appearances can deceive—and how treacherous London’s high society
can be. Yet who would have killed Juliet, and why? Taking the reins of
her life in a way she never has before, Abby intends to find out—but she
may uncover more danger than she ever imagined . . .
