Join Countess turned advice columnist Amelia Amesbury as she tries to juggle a new Season and a new murder in this charmingly deadly historical mystery.

"A beautiful debutante, a wealthy widow, and a dead would-be baron. What could be more exciting?"

Countess by day, secret advice columnist by night, Amelia Amesbury has life happily balanced on a quill's edge . . . until her sister Margaret shows up in London under a blanket of scandal and Amelia is catapulted out of mourning and into the ton's unforgiving Season.

However Madge's Season debut is marred by a rather inconvenient death at the dining table as the infamous Mr Radcliffe takes ill and is later confirmed dead by poisoning. With Madge being the last person to have cross words with the soon-to-be baron, the ton's gossip mill - and the police - are looking to pin the murder on her.

Adding to the ton's troubles is a jewellery thief targeting the most lavish of Society's houses. Is the murderer and the thief one in the same? It falls to Amelia once again to uncover the secrets buried deep within the pages before her sister goes down for the crimes.

Perfect for fans of witty historical mystery and Regency romances with a similar feel to Verity Bright and T.E. Kinsey

Murder in Season by Mary Winters returns us to a new season in Victorian London.

Will Lady Amelia find a suitor for her sister?

Amelia’s sister, Madge, isn’t your average debutant. She is outspoken, loud, and spoiled, and she has been allowed to be those things for many years. However, she is also pretty and quite clever.

Amelia throws a ball, and one of the most eligible suitors dies. Now, the police have set their sights on Madge. Add to that a thief who is stealing family jewels, and the fun keeps coming.

Lady Tabitha

I love Lady Tabitha. She is the best character. Wow, does she know how to command respect and dismiss the police well. She uses a walking cane, but I don’t think it’s just for walking. 🙂

Four Stars

My rating for Murder in Season by Mary Winters is four stars. I liked the story, characters, and setting. One of my favorite scenes was where Amelia and Madge disguise themselves and head to the seedy side of London to find a jewel thief. I do recommend this historical cozy mystery.
