Deadlier than the Pen by Kathy Lynn Emerson (ebook)

Deadlier than the Pen

Diana Spaulding is a widowed theatrical columnist trying to survive in the scandal-fueled journalistic world of 1888 New York City. Her callous editor assigns her a story on horror-author Damon Bathory, whom he suspects of murdering two female journalists. Diana faces danger from a deranged artist, a matriarch with a warped sense of humor, a traveling acting troupe-and the elusive Bathory himself. [1st in a series]

"Delicious! DEADLIER THAN THE PEN is my favorite kind of book: intriguing, compelling, with details so vivid, you can almost hear the clop-clop of horses' hooves on a city street. I can think of no greater pleasure than to curl up on a rainy day with one of Kathy Lynn Emerson's wonderful historical mysteries." Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of THE SINNER
