Description

A brand-new book in the Antiques & Collectibles series by New York Times bestselling author Ellery Adams and Parker Riggs.

Molly Appleby has promised her new husband that their honeymoon will be trouble-free—specifically, no sleuthing. Unfortunately, trouble seems to follow Molly wherever she goes, even to England.

After a glorious week in London, the newlyweds have escaped the city to visit Molly’s great-aunt in the quaint English village of Marlow Crossing. The setting is idyllic, as beautiful and serene as Molly could hope for, but as the talented reporter and senior staff writer for Collector’s Weekly knows, appearances can be deceiving. And when a local woman turns up poisoned to death, Molly’s convinced there’s more to the story than meets the eye.

Putting her honeymoon on hold, Molly agrees to help local inspector Devon Boyle with the case, especially since the sleepy village presents such a small number of suspects. But when two of them go missing and the tragic death of another woman comes to light, Molly realizes she’s up against a much more sinister criminal than she thought. Untangling a web of lies and deceit as she searches for a motive and a murderer won’t be easy, but Molly’s determined to put all of her detective skills to use to catch a killer before her trip, and her life, are brought to a sudden end.

Cozy mystery meet historical romance. Fantastic spin between the two stories. One does have to suspend belief in the police allowing our lovely protagonist to be so involved in solving a murder case. Charming and entertaining.

I really enjoyed A DEVIOUS LOT. A great plot, with a fast moving story line. This book just serves as more proof as to why Eller Adams is one of my favorite authors.

I am so thrilled that I stumbled upon this series. A Devious Lot is an interesting, charming cozy novel with very relatable characters. I especially enjoyed how the author integrated the past history of the eye portrait, sharing its story with us, while weaving it into the present mystery. Admittedly, I was able to figure out the murderer, but this did not detract from a wonderful story. I highly recommend this novel, and I intend to seek out the previous installments of this series.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
