Death Calls At The Palace: A Charlotte Edgerton Mystery (Charlotte Edgerton Mysteries)

In book 3 of the Charlotte Edgerton Mysteries series, Charlotte and her beloved husband, Daniel Gallagher, have moved to London where Daniel will be taking up a new job on a weekly newspaper. After her adventures in New York City. (You can read about them in Death Visits a Bawdy House.) Charlotte is mourning the loss of their infant son. She finds the gray skies and gritty poverty of London almost more than she can bear. But she is jolted out of her sorrow when she is called upon to help her imprisoned brother and his young wife. London in 1846 is very far from the gracious society Charlotte had imagined. Dark skinned strangers from Britain's far-flung empire are demanding justice from the young Queen Victoria. Charlotte's young brother Tom is being drawn into radical political agitation that Charlotte fears will lead to violence and perhaps death. Meanwhile the city is growing more and more crowded with impoverished immigrants from famine-stricken Ireland. When one of her young Irish friends--a kitchen maid--dies in a tragic fire, Charlotte believes it was no accident. But uncaring policemen scoff at her suspicions. Charlotte discovers that she must search for the villain on her own.
