The Sisterhood: A Lady Emily Mystery

By Tasha Alexander

Book Overview

Lady Emily investigates the murder of a glamorous debutante in the next irresistible mystery of Tasha Alexander's New York Times bestselling series.

London, 1907: When the Season's most accomplished and elegant debutante, Victoria Goldsborough, collapses and dies at her engagement ball, the great and good of London Society prepare to mourn the tragic loss of an upstanding young woman. But all is not what it seems, and after a toxic beverage is revealed to be the cause of death, the king himself instructs Lady Emily and her husband Colin Hargreaves to unearth the truth.

Who would want to harm one of the most popular women of the year? Is it her fianc with whom she had an unusually brief courtship; a rival for his affections bitter at being cast aside; her best friend who is almost certainly hiding a secret from Colin and Emily; a disappointed suitor with a hidden gambling habit; or a notorious jewel thief who has taken a priceless tiara from the Goldsborough home? When a second debutante succumbs to poison, the race is on to find a ruthless killer.

Emily and Colin's investigation leads to a centuries old tomb in the center of London with a mysterious link to another death dating back to Roman times and the violent reign of Boudica, ancient Britain's fearsome warrior queen. As the stakes rise and the clock ticks down, Emily must find the killer before they strike again.

Customer Reviews

Excellent read!

Lady Emily and her second husband, Colin Hargreaves, are asked to investigate the startling murder of a debutante affianced to a popular Viscount and then the associated theft of a valuable tiara on the same night. The story has a dual timeline of 1907 England and the middle first century time of Queen Boudicca. The characters are interesting and well developed, the backgrounds and worldbuilding strong, and the twists make it unputdownable. I was only disappointed that there were no end credits regarding the historical facts and acknowledgement of any adjustments in time for the sake of the story. I requested and received a temporary uncorrected digital galley from St Martin's Press / Minotaur Books via NetGalley.
