Murder in Berkeley Square
By Riley, Vanessa
Offering "a vibrant picture of the roles Black and mixed-race people played in Regency life" (Publishers Weekly) , this unique historical mystery series, featuring a mixed-race heroine with a notorious past, will appeal to Bridgerton fans who want a sharper edge to their drama.. A marriage of convenience saved Lady Abigail Worthing's family from disgrace, but she's finding her absent husband's endless conditions increasingly repressive. Unable to stay at their London home during the oncoming winter, she accepts a ride to the country from her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. However, she's less than delighted that she's his excuse to avoid a dinner held by Lord Charles Duncan, one of London's most powerful - and relentless - magistrates. More irritating, women are decidedly unwelcome at the evening's prestigious discussion of criminality - even though Abigail and Stapleton have solved several cases together .
