A Slash of Emerald

Fans of historical fiction/mystery titles will want to give this title a look. It features (as is often the case but still such fun) an unconventional woman (a medical examiner) and a Scotland Yard detective. They are in London in the year 1867.

The background for this entry in the series is the art world, one that includes some women painters. What is happening to their sitters? What is behind the suicide and murder in this world?

I am a fan Deanna Raybourn’s novels. Those who enjoy her books or this genre will, I think, enjoy McDonough’s books. Characters, setting and plot all are engaging.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
