The Mystery of the Sorrowful Maiden by Kate Saunders
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1853 Laetitia Rodd, widow of an Archdeacon is asked to help in the negotiations between theatre owner and actor, Thomas Transome, and his wife Sarah. Inspector Blackbeard comes into the situation when a body is discovered in the King’s Theatre, which burnt down ten years previously when Transome owned it. What could be the motive and who is the guilty party, and will this be the only murder.
An entertaining and well-written cozy Victorian mystery with its likeable characters. The novel can easily be read as a standalone story and is a good addition to the series.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
