Mariah Fredericks recommends
The Case of the Missing Maid (2024)
(Harriet Morrow, book 1)
Rob Osler
"A complete delight. A vivid portrait of 1890s Chicago in all its zest and cruelty with a wonderfully relatable heroine. Rob Osler skillfully weaves the fate of lovely Polish maid Agnes Wozniak with the story of the Prescott Agency's first female detective coming into her own. I demand more Harriet Morrow this instant!"
The Romanov Brides (2024)
Clare McHugh
"I truly could not put this book down. Clare McHugh is a genius at finding new dramatic narratives in the history of Queen Victoria's tragic descendants...Each character in this glittering royal tapestry is fresh and vivid, as they navigate the complex personal dynamics that will change the course of history. Utterly addictive!"
A Traitor in Whitehall (2023)
(Evelyne Redfern / Parisian Orphan, book 1)
Julia Kelly
"Call the Midwife meets Mr. Churchill's Secretary in this riveting and atmospheric mystery set in wartime London. Readers will love the quick witted 'Parisian Orphan' Evelyne Redfern who discovers the body of a deeply disliked colleague and decides to track down her killer. As she investigates, she uncovers the dark secrets of the people keeping the secrets in Whitehall. Sharp, charming, and fast-paced, A Traitor in Whitehall marks a stellar debut for a winning and original heroine."
