Synopsis

Countess-turned-advice columnist Amelia Amesbury has a wedding to plan alongside a new murder in this charmingly deadly historical mystery.

Countess Amelia Amesbury has her work cut out. As well as balancing her alter ego—secret advice columnist, Lady Agony—and the blackmailer threatening to reveal her real identity, her sister has also announced she's getting married. It's joyous news, but places all the planning for a high society wedding firmly at Amelia's door.

Luckily, her good friend and local vicar Mr. Cross has agreed to the expedited nuptials, so that's one less thing to worry about. Until Cross is found dead at the church. Now in between bridal arrangements, Amelia must follow the clues Mr. Cross left behind.

Clearly, he'd made some enemies during his parishioner work, as strange mishaps begin to occur wherever Amelia goes. But when the danger becomes all too real, Amelia must rely on her friends and the handsome Simon Bainbridge to help solve the murder, save the wedding, and Amelia's life too . . .

Perfect for fans of witty historical mystery and Regency romances with a similar feel to Verity Bright and T. E. Kinsey.

4.5 stars This series by Mary Winters continues to delight me with each new book, and Murder in Matrimony is perhaps my favorite so far. Not the least of which reason is the ‘where’d my fan go’ chemistry between Simon & Amelia. It’s always been there but whew, now that they’re kissing each other, th......more

The main character of this book, Lady Amelia Amesbury, is not the typical "Lady" of Victorian English society. Amelia has some atypical opinions that she isn't afraid to share, either in person or through her anonymous newspaper advice column. Amelia's younger sister also has strong opinions and Mad......more

Thank you to @netgalley, @marywintersauthor and @austenprose for an eARC of this book. Mary Winters knocks it out of the park with this one. Romance, family drama, friendship, and social justice are all combined beautifully to tell a charming and page-turning tale. I loved how the motivation behind......more
