London Blue

by Emma Jameson

Overview

Murder. Scandal. Secrets.

Lord & Lady Hetheridge are back in a thrilling new novel by New York Times bestselling author Emma Jameson.

When a hated instructor at England's last ladies' finishing school is found murdered, two things are missing--the dazzling London blue ring she always wore and the very finger it adorned.

Lady Hetheridge is back, and she's shaking up the high society scene! In Emma Jameson's latest cozy mystery, DI Kate Hetheridge throws herself into a case that shatters the pristine image of a top English socialite.

When aging "Femininity for Our Time" guru Cathleen Maitland-Palmer is found dead, the scandalous truth behind her sparkling life is exposed: secret trysts, blackmail, and explosive betrayals hiding behind the polished door of her Kensington home.

Her fabulous career at Annabelle Carter, Britain's last ladies' finishing school, is also fiction. Her students hated her, the headmistress wanted her gone, and one of her colleagues poured hot tea on her lap during a faculty row. But this isn't death by Darjeeling--the murder weapon is a powerful magnet.

Meanwhile, new dad Tony Hetheridge, determined to let his sixty-second birthday pass quietly as he recovers from a knee replacement, is pulled into a baffling cold case. Investigating the dark world of a fallen rock star and her brutalized bandmates leads him straight to Annabelle Carter--the very school under his wife's scrutiny.

London Blue is the thrilling eighth installment in Emma Jameson's beloved Lord & Lady Hetheridge series. Murder, intrigue, and high-stakes secrets await--dive in today!

There are now FOUR questions readers love to ask Ms. Jameson. In no particular order they are:

1. Why do you write so slowly?

This is a question she’s heard for many years. Sometimes she blames her eyesight. However, she has one good eye. Sometimes she blames her housecats, Howard, Zahara, and Bobby for distracting her. However, they sleep upwards of eighteen hours a day. Sometimes she blames the Muse, which occasionally buggers off without notice. This last explanation works with a few readers, but not many. In short, Ms. Jameson cannot satisfactorily answer the question, “Why do you write so slowly?” But every New Year’s Day, like clockwork, she vows to do better in the months to come, and 2024 is no exception.

2. Will Lady Juliet’s husband ever die, disappear, or otherwise get out of the way?

Ms. Jameson says only: “The course of true love never did run smooth.”

3.You’re not ending the Lord & Lady Hetheridge series, are you?

To this the authoress says, “I will be writing the Tony and Kate books until I croak. Period.”

4. How do I find you?
