Here is my 4.14 rounded to 4 stars review of A Slash of Emerald by Patrice McDonough:/review/show...
Historical Mystery
2nd book in the Dr. Julia Lewis series
Victorian London, 1867
Dark and gritty
Great characterization and atmosphere
I learned about the Victorian art world.
The mystery in Clare Leslie Hall's Broken Country is the result of a tangled love triangle over many years. I did not guess the ending, which is always a good thing.
