A lady never reveals the true extent of her decay... Hannah Miles lives a quiet existence, helping her parents conduct research into a most terrible affliction - until a gruesome murder during her best friend's engagement party pulls her from the shadows. With her specialist's knowledge and demure disposition, Hannah is requested to aid the investigation. Except Hannah discovers her role is to apologise in the wake of the rude and disgraced man tasked with finding the murderer. The obnoxious Viscount Wycliff thinks to employ Hannah purely as a front to satisfy Whitehall, but she'll have none of that. The two must work together to find the murderer before the season is ruined. But the viscount is about to meet his greatest challenge, and it's not a member of the ton with a hankering for brains. Perfect for fans of CJ Archer, Deanna Raybourn, Lynn Messina and Pearl Goodfellow. Keywords: historical fantasy, gaslamp, Regency mystery, historical mystery, paranormal cozy, ghosts, witches, zombies, cozies.

I know the big thing now is regency errands dramas and reinterpretations. I. This instance, society is plagued by the undead, created by a powder which afflicted high society.
The premise is ridiculous, but somehow the author makes it work. They seamlessly hit the target markets of regency Era, and murder mystery.
For someone looking for traditional zombie attacks. They'll be disappointed. These zombies act more like vampires, where they are still functioning members of society, even attending high society balls.
I'm glad to hear what all the fuss was about. It answered my curiosity but I won't be continuing with the series. It was an interesting premise but historical murder mystery and regency Era retelling aren't my thing.
The ending felt a little bit rushed to me but overall very enjoyable and I will continue with the series.
