A Tale of Two Murders
A Tale of Two Murders | Heather Redmond
12 posts | 9 read | 20 to read
On the eve of the Victorian era, London has a new sleuth . . . In the winter of 1835, young Charles Dickens is a journalist on the rise at the Evening Chronicle. Invited to dinner at the estate of the newspaper's co-editor, Charles is smitten with his boss's daughter, vivacious nineteen-year-old Kate Hogarth. They are having the best of times when a scream shatters the pleasant evening. Charles, Kate, and her father rush to the neighbors' home, where Miss Christiana Lugoson lies unconscious on the floor. By morning, the poor young woman will be dead. When Charles hears from a colleague of a very similar mysterious death a year ago to the date, also a young woman, he begins to suspect poisoning and feels compelled to investigate. The lovely Kate offers to helpusing her social position to gain access to the members of the upper crust, now suspects in a murder. If Charles can find justice for the victims, it will be a far, far better thing than he has ever done. But with a twist or two in this most peculiar case, he and Kate may be in for the worst of times . . .

#20in4 was a successful readathon. I finished all the intended books and finally caught up on The Warmth of Other Suns buddy read.

I enjoyed all my books partly because I had mostly uninterrupted reading time this weekend which was lovely.

I am ready for #Wintergames and holiday reads galore.

Andrew65 Brilliant 👏👏👏🙌🥳🍾🥂😍👍😊 Thanks for playing along. 2y

Stumbled upon this cozy in Libby. Enjoying the young journalist Charles Dickens as he follows his suspicions of murder by poison in an attempt to solve the crime and write an expose.

I received the ARC from NetGalley and enjoyed this bit of fan fiction. For fans of Charles Dickens, you will love this fun mystery, where the main character is Charles Dickens. Dickens is a journalist who starts investigating a couple of mysterious deaths.

My husband and I have been on the road driving for 34 out of the last 40 hours to say goodbye to my aunt that I am really close to who very suddenly got sick. While i don't think I'll actually make 24 hours this time, the #24in48 readathon has been keeping me company on the road. @24in48

Mehso-so

An average read for me:

✔ Blend of fact & fiction - Charles Dickens as the protagonist
✔ Pretty good writing

❌ Main plot fades away in the middle of the story
❌ Dull storytelling

Rating: 3🌟
