Title: Felicity Carrol and the Murderous Menace
Author: Patricia Marcantonio
I really enjoyed this book. Murder, mystery and a bit of romance. What’s not to like? The author wove a wonderful story that takes us from the middle of London to the American west. All with the purpose of catching a killer.
Some of the dialogue does not really work for a book set in the 1800’s but in the long run it doesn’t really matter.
Felicity Carrol our leading lady is an interesting character. Her mother died when Felicity was small, and her unaffectionate father left Felicity in the care of the household servants. As an adult she has a medical degree and a thirst for knowledge. Instead of joining “society” she spends her time helping an inspector friend to solve crimes at Scotland Yard.
After a series of brutal unsolved murders in London, Felicity and her friend believe the killer may have re-surfaced in America. Felicity volunteers to go to America and investigate the case.
The book will be released in Feb 2020. I received this book from Netgalley and I am giving this review voluntarily.
