The Victoria Sedgwick Mysteries
I found a new Victorian Mystery series: Victoria Sedgwick Mysteries by Blythe Baker. The series begins in the home of our heroine, Victoria Sedgwick. She is sitting with her new born son when her husband stumbles in, late, after spending his evening carousing. She sends him to retrieve an additional blanket, for their son, out of the nursery. Shortly after entering the nursery, the drops dead. The remainder of this first book, Victoria conducts her own investigation to determine what killed her husband. Typical, for upper class ladies of her time period, Victoria struggles to protect her home while considering options for her future and how to support herself. The Sedgwick staff, butler, ladies maid, nanny, cook, and, stable-hand care for the house and grounds while assisting their employer uncover the truth. I am currently reading the last book in this series. Can't put it down. More to come...
