About this ebook
Of Manners and Murder is the first in the delightful new Dear Miss Hermione mystery series from Anastasia Hastings.
"Evokes the shocking revelations of Wilkie Collins, the social acuity of Jane Austen and the comic melodrama of Oscar Wilde."—Wall Street Journal
1885: London, England. When Violet's Aunt Adelia decides to abscond with her newest paramour, she leaves behind her role as the most popular Agony Aunt in London, "Miss Hermione," in Violet's hands.
And of course, the first letter Violet receives is full, not of prissy pondering, but of portent. Ivy Armstrong is in need of help and fears for her life. But when Violet visits the village where the letters were posted, she finds that Ivy is already dead.
She'll quickly discover that when you represent the best-loved Agony Aunt in Britain, both marauding husbands and murder are par for the course.

I love historical mysteries and could not wait to read this new to me author and start to a series. Delighted this is during the Victorian era, I soon became engrossed in the premise and wonderful characters!! Violet is left to cover for her Aunt Adelia's advice column "Dear Miss Hermione" while her aunt has gone off with one of her paramours. What she finds is a letter from a young woman afraid someone is trying to murder her.. Then the adventure begins!!
