A Virtuous Death

fullDescription

Undertaker Violet Harper confronts the dire predictions of a fortuneteller in Queen Victoria's court in this gripping tale by the author of Stolen Remains.

Queen Victoria, still mourning her long-dead husband Prince Albert, has found solace in John Brown, an enigmatic palace servant who dabbles in the occult and keeps the grieving queen entertained with his tarot card readings. Undertaker Violet Harper is invited to attend one of Mr. Brown's infamous readings, during which he implies that Buckingham Palace will soon be shrouded in death's dark veil. Well acquainted with death, Violet shrugs him off as a charlatan—until his sinister divinations begin to prove true . . .

Violet wonders if something foul is in the cards when the aristocratic young friends of the queen's daughter begin to die under mysterious circumstances. Her suspicions only grow when one of London's "moralists," a group bent on repealing the law that forces prostitutes into hospitals, suffers a similar fate. The deaths merely buttress the queen's enthusiasm for Mr. Brown's ominous talents, and, concerned by the fortuneteller's influence, Violet races against time to unearth the truth before the killer strikes again. But as she closes in on a murderer with an unearthly motive, Violet realizes she may be digging her own grave . . .

Praise for the Lady of Ashes series

"Violet remains an engaging guide with an unusual perspective on Victorian society." —Publishers Weekly

"Filled with informative historical tidbits on some of the less salubrious aspects of Victorian times and plenty of red herrings." —Kirkus Reviews

"A book you can sink your teeth into, with characters you'll fall in love with." —Mystery Scene
