Kate Adrleigh is everything the Victorian English gentlewoman is not--outspoken, free-thinking, American...and a writer of the frowned upon "penny-dreadfuls." Soon after her arrival in Essex, England, a body is unearthed in a nearby archeological dig--and Kate has the chance to not only research her latest story...but to begin her first case with amateur detective Sir Charles Sheridan.

I loved this! Thanks to Meredith from Currently Reading for bringing it to the podcast some months back - I will absolutely be continuing the series.
I'd accidentally read one of the later books from this series already (not to mention other books from this author duo) so I knew what to expect. The narrative switches between perspectives of all the characters involved, focusing mostly on Kate and Charles. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop most of all, I think. The peek into the world of some notable Victorian authors was fun for a history nerd, too! ;)
An excellent book of detective/PI mystery thriller with a golden plot
