Praise for Murder by Lamplight "This atmospheric, strong debut features two intriguing lead characters...Fans of Victorian mysteries, medical mysteries, and detective duos will appreciate this historical suspense. Suggest for fans of Andrea Penrose or Ritu Mukerji's debut." -- Library Journal STARRED REVIEW "An unusually violent and methodical killer terrorizes 1866 London in McDonough's debut...The spree of period murders, capped by a welcome surprise, provides the perfect backdrop for debates about gender politics." -- Kirkus Reviews "A stellar mystery, balancing the step-by-step collection of evidence and clues with the ruminations of the observant letter writer and leading to the gasp-inducing yet wholly believable identification of the perpetrator...Brilliant." -- Historical Novel Society "A promising start to a new series with a gritty, engaging plot and intriguing characters." -- Mystery & Suspense Magazine "All signs point to this satisfying and enjoyable debut setting up a series with a long, long run." -- Deadly Pleasures Magazine "This is simply the best series kick-off I've read since Victoria Thompson's Murder on Astor Place ." --Aunt Agatha's Mysteries "Enthralling debut. . . Mystery, pulsepounding suspense and a budding romance. More, please!" --Mary Jane Clark, New York Times Bestselling Author, Praise for Murder by Lamplight: "This enthralling debut is deftly plotted and utterly absorbing...McDonough's meticulous research and attention to detail transport the reader to the dark shadows and danger lurking on the gaslit streets.

Synopsis
As a deadly cholera pandemic burns its way through Victorian London in the winter of 1866, a trailblazing female physician and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective reluctantly team up to stop a sadistic killer in this dark, atmospheric, historically rich mystery for readers of Andrea Penrose and Deanna Raynourn. "Enthralling debut. . . Mystery, pulse-pounding suspense and a budding romance. More, please!"--Mary Jane Clark, New York Times Bestselling Author When a vengeful, sadistic killer terrorizes London twenty years before Jack the Ripper will stalk its same streets, an unlikely duo is prompted to investigate: one of Britain's first female physicians, Dr. Julia Lewis, and Scotland Yard's Inspector Richard Tennant, a Crimean War veteran with lingering physical and psychological wounds. November 1866: The grisly murder site in London's East End is thronged with onlookers. None of them expect the calmly efficient young woman among them to be a medical doctor, arrived to examine the corpse. Inspector Richard Tennant, overseeing the investigation, at first makes no effort to disguise his skepticism. But Dr. Julia Lewis is accustomed to such condescension . . . To study medicine, Julia had to leave Britain, where universities still bar their doors to women, and travel to America. She returned home to work in her grandfather's practice--and to find London in the grip of a devastating cholera epidemic. In four years, however, she has seen nothing quite like this--a local clergyman's body sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner that she--and Tennant--both suspect is personal. Days later, another body is found with links to the first, and Tennant calls in Dr. Lewis again. The murderer begins sending the police taunting letters and tantalizing clues--though the trail leads in multiple directions, from London's music halls to its grim workhouses and dank sewers. Lewis and Tennant struggle to understand the killer's dark obsessions and motivations. But there is new urgency, for the doctor's role appears to have shifted from expert to target. And this killer is no impulsive monster, but a fiendishly calculating opponent, determined to see his plan through to its terrifying conclusion . . ., As a deadly cholera pandemic burns its way through Victorian London in the winter of 1866, a trailblazing female physician and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective reluctantly team up to stop a sadistic killer in this dark, atmospheric, historically rich mystery for readers of Andrea Penrose and Deanna Raynourn., As a deadly cholera pandemic burns its way through Victorian London in the winter of 1866, a trailblazing female physician and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective reluctantly team up to stop a sadistic killer in this dark, atmospheric, historically rich mystery for readers of Andrea Penrose and Deanna Raynourn.

- _***s (40)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis book was hard to find and it came in exceptional condition. It came quickly and the packaging was done with extreme care which I appreciated because this is an older book. The seller took great care in bubble wrap but also a specific cellophane sleeve to put the book in and then put it in a very padded envelope so not even a corner was affected. The book was even better than de This was a great value for a book I've been looking for and I will definitely use the seller again. Very happy!!😊

The score is in much better condition than indicated in the listing; it's like new except for a note on the inside front cover. Seller has been excellent in all ways, so I highly recommend them.
