Review

Praise for ‘Death of a Dancer’:

‘A terrific page-turner in the tradition of Georgette Heyer, written with great enthusiasm and verve, with a wonderful evocation of the tawdry, precarious world behind the spectacle of the variety stage’ Guardian

‘A light-hearted and engaging novel’ TLS

Praise for ‘Death at Dawn’

‘Great period detail and heaps of energy… feisty’ Daily Mirror

‘Echoes of Georgette Heyer… well-crafted… an enjoyable romp’ She

‘Good old-fashioned adventure… romps along at a fine pace…a thrilling murder-mystery’ Easy Living

‘Some well-described set pieces temper the breakneck pace of the action, and the ending is as satisfying as one could wish’ The Times

'Light, easy reading for anyone who enjoys a bit of Victorian mystery' Observer

'An enjoyable historical novel' Woman's Day

‘Fast-paced and lively… this historical drama will keep you intrigued – definitely hard to put down!’ My Weekly

Product Description

Duelling, derring-do, and dastardly deeds are all in a day’s work for Liberty Lane: the plucky heroine for fans of Georgette Heyer and Sarah Waters’s Victorian novels.

London. Summer 1839. And the temperature is rising as Liberty Lane takes on her strangest case yet.

Deranged aristocrat Lord Brinkburn is nearing death and his elder son, Stephen, is expecting to inherit the title. But Lady Brinkburn's sudden announcement that Stephen is illegitimate throws the family into turmoil. Tensions reach boiling point between the two brothers, one of whom stands to gain everything, and they come to blows in public - much to the amusement of London Society.

Liberty is engaged privately to get to the truth of the matter, but a macabre murder raises the stakes considerably…added to which she finds her own judgement being undermined by the beguiling Lady Brinkburn. She is only too aware that time is running out - one of the brothers may be next, but which will it be…?

4.0 out of 5 stars Different title, same book!, 15 Jan 2011
By Chris on Starbird - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Corpse in Shining Armour (Paperback)
Be aware that this is the SAME BOOK as "A Family Affair" by the same author. This is apparently a matter of a decision by the American publisher to assign a different title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Corpse in Shining Armour, 13 Oct 2009
By Steve Dixon "Steve" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Corpse in Shining Armour (Paperback)
A very good book, I enjoyed it. It's a story about a young lady living in England in the late part of the 19th century. She is a part time music teacher, full time private investigator, although she (Liberty Lane) would allure you to believing that was the other way around. It is full of mystery, murder, and adventure. The author does a very good job blending the history of England with his story.
