內容簡介

The perfect mix of historical murder and mystery with a hint of romance! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Barbara Erskine and Jane Austen. When a murder is committed a lady's companion finds herself as an amateur sleuth... 1789, London When Emily Fanshawe, Marchioness of Polbrook, is found strangled in her bedchamber, suspicion immediately falls on those residing in the grand house in Hanover Square. Emily's husband - Randal Fanshawe, Lord Polbrook - fled in the night and is chief suspect - much to the dismay of his family. Ottilia Draycott is brought in as the new lady's companion to Sybilla, Dowager Marchioness and soon finds herself assisting younger son, Lord Francis Fanshawe in his investigations. Can Ottilia help clear the family name? Does the killer still reside in the house? Or could there be more to the mystery than meets the eye...? THE GILDED SHROUD is the first book in the Lady Fan Mystery series: historical romance murder mysteries with a courageous woman sleuth embarking on a traditional British, private investigation in eighteenth-century London. 'A delightful read for all lovers of Georgian fiction, blending a compelling murder mystery with a decorous touch of romance, and introducing a formidable lady sleuth.' Linda Stratmann, author of The Early Casebook of Sherlock Holmes series 'A satisfying solution and well-chosen period detail will leave readers eager for the sequel.' - Publisher's Weekly 'a very enjoyable Pre-Regency-style read. With fluent writing and a fabulous ending, author Elizabeth Bailey is sure to have a hit mystery series on her clever hands.' - Burton Book Review 'Ms. Bailey delivers an exceptionally written mystery with an impeccably described and lively Georgian setting. THE GILDED SHROUD is sure to become a favorite among Regency novel lovers.' - Fresh Fiction 'Readers will love Bailey's period detail and strong characterization. Full of danger and intrigue this is a historical cozy that fans of the genre will not want to miss' - Debbie's Book Bag 'A light upstairs-downstairs affair with clever dialog. Georgette Heyer is a strong influence on Bailey, and Bailey does it well, deftly mixing her detecting with a gentle romance. Terrific crossover appeal for Georgian romance readers who crave a corpse with their love stories.' - Library Journal 'a lively, entertaining read and the start of an engaging Georgian England series' - The Poisoned Pen 'has the scenery and the upstairs-downstairs characters down pat' - Kirkus Review 'a heroine who overcomes the bonds of Georgian propriety with incomparable insight and insatiable curiosity... A delightful debut mystery' - Victoria Thompson, author of Murder on Sisters' Row 'a charming Regency romantic amateur sleuth starring a wonderful intelligent heroine. The story line engages the reader in the mystery while the romance between "Fan" and "Tillie" enhances the investigation. Sub-genre readers will want Tillie and Fan working future inquiries' - The Mystery Gazette 'The late Regency writer Georgette Heyer lives-and she's writing mysteries as Elizabeth Bailey!' - Meritorious Mysteries LADY FAN MYSTERY SERIES
