L C Tyler recommends

A High Mortality of Doves (2016)
(Albert Lincoln, book 1)
Kate Ellis
"I absolutely loved this book. It's a perfectly paced crime novel that beautifully evokes both time and place. Kate Ellis keeps you guessing all the way through to the final unexpected twist. This could be an instant classic."

The Angel's Mark (2018)
(Nicholas Shelby, book 1)
S W Perry
"A remarkably assured and classy debut. Perry grabs your attention from the first paragraph and holds it throughout a fascinating journey into high and low life of Tudor London. This could, hopefully, be the start of an addictive series."

The Three Dahlias (2022)
(Dahlia Lively, book 1)
Katy Watson
"An affectionate homage to the Golden Age of Detective Fiction and a wry nod to our continuing fascination with it. Great fun. Warm, ingenious and. . . lively!"

Blood on the Siberian Snow (2022)
(Olga Pushkin Mystery, book 2)
