Today I'd like to shine a spotlight on a new release that's on my TBR pile. Poison in Piccadilly by Kelly Oliver is the sixth book in the Fiona Figg and Kitty Lane Mystery series. It will be released September 14, 2024.
Blurb:
1918 London
Is Fiona Figg ready to exchange her sleuthing cap for a bridal veil?
Fiona
is set to tie the knot with her dashing flyboy, Archie Somersby. But,
while Fiona is busy planning her happily ever after, side-kick Kitty
Lane and a group of judo-chopping suffragettes are kicking up trouble at
the Piccadilly Jujitsu Club.
When Kitty is found unconscious in
the locker room during a high-stakes competition, Fiona must forsake
her bouquets and bridal gown to investigate. Her sleuthing leads to a
posh lady's luncheon where a mysterious death crashes Fiona's wedding
plans.
To make matters worse, the arch-nemesis of all things
matrimonial, Fredrick Fredricks is up to his old tricks, attempting to
put the brakes on Fiona's journey down the aisle. Will he succeed in
tripping up Fiona's wedding vows? Or will she finally say "I don't" to
the charming devil?
With humor as sharp as a judo chop and suspense as tight as a wedding corset, Poison in Piccadilly invites you to matrimonial mayhem that will have you saying "I do" to laughter and "forever more" to page-turning suspense.
The
book features real life suffragettes Sylvia Pankhurst and her
bodyguards trained by Edith Garrud, who taught them jujitsu, which
became known as Suffrajitsu.
