A Murder at Kew Gardens: A Victorian Historical Mystery by Magda Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

July 1889 Chief Inspector Dodson arrived at Rosehaven House to take in Cosmos, Earl of Rosehaven, older brother to Rosalynd, as a body has been found in Kew Gardens, with his pistol nearby. Meanwhile Steele has been in charge of a covert investigation. But soon the two become one investigation.
An entertaining and well-written historical mystery with its cast of likeable and interesting characters. Another good addition to this enjoyable series.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksirens and am voluntarily leaving a review.
