A Lady's Guide to Gossip and Murder by Dianne Freeman

As a Victoria-era lady, Frances is limited by society in what she can do and how far she can go with her investigation. George Hazelton remains the perfect partner and love interest for Frances.

And the secondary characters are intriguing and likable as well. She is witty, intelligent, and independent. And France Wynn remains my current favorite historical, amateur sleuth.

Freeman brings Victorian-era London to life. I absolutely loved A LADY'S GUIDE TO ETIQUETTE AND MURDER, and I was equally delighted by A LADY'S GUIDE TO GOSSIP AND MURDER. The question is which one of them was willing to kill two people to protect his or her secret? Frances learns more about her peers’ private lives than she had ever wanted to know. Frances – along with her dashing neighbor George Hazelton – help the police with the murder investigation by digging deeper into Mary’s life and her vast collection of gossip concerning England’s upper class. After Mary Archer is found strangled in her home, Frances’s cousin jumps to the top of the police’s suspect list because he had recently been courting the victim. The novel is the second in the Countess of Harleigh Mystery series by Dianne Freeman, and it will be published on June 25th 2019 by Kensington.įrances Wynn was hoping to enjoy a few quiet, summer months spent with her family, but, instead, she finds herself caught up in another murder investigation. Frances Wynn is back in A LADY'S GUIDE TO GOSSIP AND MURDER.
