Murder at Kensington Palace

Praise for MURDER AT HALF MOON GATE
"Penrose deftly combines a Regency romance with a tricky mystery that delves into social unrest and the darker side of this storied period." --Kirkus Reviews

"Penrose reveals intriguing new aspects of her protagonists' characters and relationship in a story linked to the era's technological and social changes." --Publishers Weekly

"The relationship and banter between the two stars of this series is incredible. Readers will look forward to seeing Charlotte and Wrex again (and, hopefully, very soon)."--Suspense Magazine
"The compelling follow-up to Murder on Black Swan Lane is an intricately plotted mystery set in Regency England. Its complex story line and authentic historical details bring the early days of the Industrial Revolution vividly to life. Bound to fascinate readers of C.S. Harris and even fans of Victorian mysteries." - Library Journal STARRED REVIEW

"The second in the Wrexford & Sloane Mystery series is an intriguing puzzle of greed and deception as the invention of new technology brings out the worst in human nature. Charlotte Sloane and the Earl of Wrexford are a perfect crime-solving duo as headstrong and intelligent sleuths bucking the conventions of society. The relationship between Wrexford and Charlotte evolves nicely as they become more invested in each other. Wrexford has a title and money; Charlotte works as a satirical cartoonish making ends meet while caring for two young street urchins. The historical aspects of the story are intriguing as London is on the cusp of the Industrial Revolution and there are opposing viewpoints as to whether the new technology will enhance or destroy the current way of life. This adds great depth and tension to the mystery. Charlotte's charges, Raven and Hawk, bring out Charlotte's maternal instincts as she never waivers in her commitment to protect them while allowing them independence to which they are accustomed. The secondary cast of characters of informants and friends are vividly brought to life and enhance this exciting adventurous journey from London's finest neighborhoods to the darkest alleyways and stews of the city."- RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
