The New York Times bestselling author of Otherwise Engaged and The Mystery Woman presents an all-new novel of intrigue and murder set against the backdrop of Victorian London The Kern Secretarial Agency provides reliable professional services to its wealthy clientele, and Anne Clifton was one of the finest women in Ursula Kern's employ. But Miss Clifton has met an untimely end-and Ursula is convinced it was not due to natural causes. Archaeologist and adventurer Slater Roxton thinks Mrs. Kern is off her head to meddle in such dangerous business. Nevertheless, he seems sensible enough to Ursula, though she does find herself unnerved by his self-possession and unreadable green-gold eyes If this mysterious widowed beauty insists on stirring the pot, Slater intends to remain close by as they venture into the dark side of polite society. Together they must reveal the identity of a killer-and to achieve their goal they may need to reveal their deepest secrets to each other as well

        July 1, 2015

        In London, during the late Victorian period, women have few opportunities for respectable income. Ursula Kern, hiding from a previous scandal, has opened a secretarial agency, using the new typewriting technology to place her clients in well-paying positions. When friend and colleague Ann Clifton is found dead, Ursula immediately suspects murder. Her own contract employer, amateur archaeologist Slater Roxton, is pulled into her investigation of criminal activities including murder, blackmail, and drugs. Quick, the pseudonym used by Jayne Ann Krentz for her historical romances, jumps into this mystery with immediate action, well-constructed characters, hot romance, and plenty of suspense. While the story verges on formulaic, the performance of Louise Jane Underwood adds depth with numerous accents and voices. VERDICT A bit of fun for fans of historical romance, romantic suspense, and mysteries with historical settings. ["With sassy wit, a mystical touch, and delectable sensuality, Quick sweeps readers into another delightful...escapade that is sure to leave fans smiling and satisfied": LJ 4/15/15 starred review of the Putnam hc.]--Janet Martin, Southern Pines P.L., NC
