A mystery author is charged with murder--and the plot thickens faster than anyone can turn the pages--in USA Today bestselling author Callie Hutton's new series debut, perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Ellery Adams.

Bath, England, 1890. Mystery author Lady Amy Lovell receives an anonymous letter containing shocking news: her fiancé, Mr. Ronald St. Vincent, has been dabbling in something illegal, which causes her to promptly break their engagement.

Two evenings later, as Lady Amy awaits a visit from Lord William Wethington, fellow member of the Bath Mystery Book Club, her former fiancé makes an unexpected and most unwelcome appearance at her house. She promptly sends him to the library to cool his heels but later discovers the room seemingly empty--until she stumbles upon a dead Mr. St. Vincent with a knife in his chest.

Lord Wethington arrives to find Lady Amy screaming and sends for the police, but the Bobbies immediately assume that she is the killer. Desperate to clear her name, Lady Amy and Lord Wethington launch their own investigation--and stir up a hornet's nest of suspects, from the gardener who served time in prison for murder to a vengeful woman who was spurned by St. Vincent before he proposed to Lady Amy.

Can they close the book on the case before the real killer gets away with murder?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start to a new series!
Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2020
“A Study in Murder” by Callie Hutton is the first instalment in the " Victorian Book Club Mystery" series. A great start to a new series by a new to me author! I was enjoying the story so much I read in one sitting. I found myself becoming invested in what happened to Lady Amy, as she was super likeable, smart and independent for Victorian times. I also liked her relationship with William.

The setting of Bath, England was also a nice place to visit. The mystery was well plotted, entertaining, full of twists and turns as well as a few surprises.

I can’t wait for the next instalment, definitely a author I will be following in the future.

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends.

I requested and received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Crooked Lane Books and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my OWN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start in new mystery series

This is the first in a new cozy mystery series for Ms. Hutton. She has a number of historical romances to her credit. This the first of her works that I’ve read. It had all the elements I look for in a cozy mystery: engaging characters with good development, descriptions of settings, good plot development & a few red herrings. A bonus was it is set in Victorian times in England. Ms. Hutton incorporated elements of the time and society extremely well. The main character, Amy, is a delight & somewhat different than most cozy mystery heroines. Feisty is the best description I can think of for her. She’s strong, smart with a dry sense of humor. And she doesn’t fall in love with the detective! It was a bit slower moving at times than I normally like but this didn’t cause me to lose interest. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and trying to guess the murderer but was surprised at the end. I highly recommend this and look forward to the next in the series due in April 2021.

This was a cute story with many things to like. The character development was good and I liked the heroine very much. Plot was well done and I did not guess the murderer so it was a surprise. Writing was well done except the very overdone use of ‘ex-fiancée’ which became a little annoying but otherwise a nice quick read for my airplane ride.

I was pleasantly surprised with this "new to me" author. This story was very good! The characters were well thought out, the plot thickens as you read along, and the story was very enjoyable! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cozy mysteries, especially fictional histories.
