Lady of Ashes by Christine Trent
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Violet Morgan and her husband Graham are undertakers in Victorian London. By complete luck Violet meets Prince Albert a few weeks before his death and so becomes involved in his funeral arrangements. Her husband unknown to her becomes involved in smuggling arms to the southern states of America, and by accident she comes across some suspicious deaths in her work as an undertaker. I was hoping the book would concentrate on the deaths - the crimes of a serial killer - rather than the other stories which really were not that interesting.
