DEATH UNDER WRATHFUL SKIES
The Victoria Sedgewick
Mysteries
Book 2
BLYTHE BAKER
Review by Author Roy Murry
In the 1820s, Ms. Victoria attempts to be a private inquirer (Detective) after solving the murder of her husband (Book 1). Her advertisement in the local Hyde Park, London paper is attached to an article that piques her attention—a third man is killed in the same manner as the previous two.
Ms. Victoria starts her business (Investigating) by combining efforts with Mr. Keats, a well-known detective hired by the police to find the killer. Included in the conversations are her butler, housekeeper, cook, and the nanny of infant Daniel.
The characters and the story are well-developed, making this mystery series worth reading. I have only read this novel.
With intelligent deduction, Ms. Victoria and Mr. Keats come to the same conclusion about who the killer is: she does it unconventionally, and he uses Ms. Victoria's informational letter delivered the same day she goes into action.
The ending is surprising and dangerous because, after all, Ms. Victoria is a novice.
Good, Quick, and Fun Read. I read in two sittings.
