I am so excited to share this with you guys! My publisher has been kind enough to post an excerpt of my next mystery novel, "The Vanishing Man." Out in February, it tracks a lost portrait through Victorian London - a portrait of...well, you'll see at the end of the excerpt :) I hope you enjoy!

It's pub day!!!!!!!

Giveaway! A book from the Lenox series that I really have a soft spot for is "A Death in the Small Hours," and it's probably the most similar to "The Woman in the Water" in the way each delves into Lenox's family...
So I'm giving away two signed first edition hardcovers!

All you have to do is add "The Woman in the Water" to your Goodreads to-read list and like this post.

Here are (he said mischievously) some of the early Goodreads reviews...

"His parents are present, and the parts with his Father and Mother are written so beautifully, with such love and sadness. It was emotional, heartwarming, bittersweet, all that without being syrupy or manipulative." - Critterbee

"As you read pay attention to detail...the clues to the murderer will be found in the details!" - Diane

"Just the right mix of history, mystery, suspense, and some astonishing surprises." - Wit & Wonder Books

"The perfect historical whodunit -
all you need is a strong cup of tea, wingback chair and roaring fire to make this mystery complete." - Kim McGee
