About this ebook

The New York Times Bestselling series.

Anthony Hetheridge, ninth Baron of Wellegrave, Chief Superintendent for New Scotland Yard, never married, no children, no pets, no hobbies, and not even an interesting vice, will turn sixty in three weeks. With the exception of his chosen career, too sordid for his blue-blooded family to condone, his life has been safe and predictable. But then he meets Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield - beautiful, willful, and nearly half his age. When Hetheridge saves the outspoken, impetuous young detective from getting the sack, siding with her against Scotland Yard's powerful male hierarchy, his cold, elegantly balanced world spins out of control. Summoned to London's fashionable Belgravia to investigate the brutal murder of a financier, Hetheridge must catch the killer while coping with his growing attraction to Kate, the reappearance of an old flame, and the secret that emerges from his own past.

Fall in love with Ice Blue, book #1 in the New York Times bestselling Lord & Lady Hetheridge mystery series.

From the Author:

Ms. Jameson would like to thank all her readers for their loyalty, patience, and kind words. The two questions new readers always ask are, "Will there be more Hetheridge--'Blue'--books?" and "What else have you written?"

Regarding question one, will there be more Lord & Lady Hetheridge ("Blue") books, the answer is yes. When asked when she plans to end the series, she replied, "Never." She is already at work on book #5, Blue Blooded.

Regarding question two, what else has she written, please try the Dr. Benjamin Bones cozy mystery series. Set in wartime England beginning in September 1939, this nostalgic, romantic series follows the amateur sleuthing of Dr. Bones, a native Londoner, in his adopted Cornish village, Birdswing. Book #1, Marriage Can Be Murder, and book #2, Divorce Can Be Deadly, are available now. Also available is Dr. Bones and the Christmas Wish, a charming novella about love lost and love found.

A good read spoilt by an over indulgence with the 'class' thing. We Brits don't comment on it constantly. Also it grated using US spellings when the book was supposed to be from a Brit's point of view, set in the UK. By the way...'liquor cart' ? PLEASE!! Liquor is not a word generally used here, and the item in question is referred to as a 'drinks trolley' (though considered déclassé).

The primary thread of this story is NOT the solving of the "who dunnit". Way too much social commentary on the characters lives and their interactions, some of which I found to be "far fetched" and implausible. Not a page turner and lacks pace.

As the book is set in The UK, UK English, not US English should have been used. The wrong use of language spoilt the read each time it cropped up.
