Praise for Murder by Lamplight “This atmospheric, strong debut features two intriguing lead characters…Fans of Victorian mysteries, medical mysteries, and detective duos will appreciate this historical suspense. Suggest for fans of Andrea Penrose or Ritu Mukerji’s debut.” —Library Journal STARRED REVIEW “An unusually violent and methodical killer terrorizes 1866 London in McDonough’s debut…The spree of period murders, capped by a welcome surprise, provides the perfect backdrop for debates about gender politics.” —Kirkus Reviews “A stellar mystery, balancing the step-by-step collection of evidence and clues with the ruminations of the observant letter writer and leading to the gasp-inducing yet wholly believable identification of the perpetrator…Brilliant.” —Historical Novel Society “A promising start to a new series with a gritty, engaging plot and intriguing characters.” —Mystery & Suspense Magazine “All signs point to this satisfying and enjoyable debut setting up a series with a long, long run.” —Deadly Pleasures Magazine “This is simply the best series kick-off I’ve read since Victoria Thompson’s Murder on Astor Place.” —Aunt Agatha’s Mysteries “Enthralling debut. . . Mystery, pulse‑pounding suspense and a budding romance. More, please!” —Mary Jane Clark, New York Times Bestselling Author
