Mystery
Death In Cold Type
Stevie Lord is trying to rebuild her life when she’s pulled into a chilling mystery: an old love has been brutally murdered, and the clues left behind feel disturbingly personal.
When a charming palace footman is found dead beneath the Queen's private apartments, the official verdict is suicide—but Her Majesty isn't convinced. Instead, she quietly recruits Jane Bee, a young Canadian housemaid whose curiosity is exceeded only by her knack for stumbling into trouble. As Jane ventures behind the glittering façade of Buckingham Palace, she uncovers jealous rivalries, forbidden romances, whispered scandals, and enough secrets to shake the royal household. It turns out that keeping the monarchy running is complicated enough. Solving a murder is even harder.
“Benison [retains] the playful spark of the early books, titling a chapter on an English food critic Nasty, British and Short and sprinkling the names of real people—including his own—into the murder tale set in 1988 Winnipeg.”
“A crazed killer, a fiery denouement and a downtown shopping mall. What could be more fun?”
