Fiction. Mystery. HTML: Scotland Yard's most unlikely pair of detectives must hide a blossoming romance as they hunt for a dangerous killer. An Irish redhead of humble beginnings and modest means, Kathleen Doyle is the antithesis of Chief Inspector Michael Sinclair, as known as Lord Acton, the brilliant but enigmatic lord with a knack for solving London's most high profile homicides. When a horse trainer is found dead at a racetrack, the duo's investigation does little to deter the killer at large. Jeopardizing the case are their colleagues at CID headquarters, whose nosing into the nature of Doyle and Acton's after-hours relationship threatens to lay bare the most classified information of all. As the murders pile up, Doyle and Acton uncover something far more sinister than they could have imagined. Now that they know too much, their partnership could be very brief indeed. . . "Thrilling...Will keep you guessing until the very last page."�??Victoria Thompson, bestselling author of the Gaslight Mysteries "It's been a long time since I encountered two characters this charming and engaging. I look forward to more of their adventures."�??David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author of First Blood and Before I Wake… (mais)

I won this book in a goodreads giveaway. After reading reviews of it I wasn't sure I would like it but once I started reading it I couldn't put it down--stayed up all night to find out what happened. I get that some people would be put off by the stalker angle but I thought it made the character so interesting, and his love interest was very likable and funny. It's really worth a read, I think it could be a terrific new series. (

A New Scotland Yard Mystery Book 1

SueJBeard | Jan 8, 2023 |

The case itself was quite interesting, but I almost put the book away in disgust in the beginning at the subservience of the Doyle character; instead of seeing herself as intelligent or skilled, she wonderingly refers to a gift. But perhaps that was a red herring.
Overall I enjoyed the story and looked forward to watching it unfold. (

This is my second time reading this book and it's still a solid 5 star read for me. It definitely won't be for everyone, so be forewarned. But, even though it deals with some fairly dark topic matter it has beautiful character development, a solid mystery component and a steady sense of humor that had me laughing out loud numerous times. In spite of the taboo romance, it's done in such an endearing way that you can't help but cheer for a 'happily ever after'. So twisted, but oh so good :)

Highly recommend for those who are looking for something different and are wanting a book that will mess with your head a bit :) (

I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway.

I enjoyed the story and the characters. I agree with some reviewers that the relationship between the two main characters was a little strange but I like them both, which made it possible to look beyond the obsession of the DCI.

I will definitely read more books in the series. (
