Praise for Murder by Lamplight "This atmospheric, strong debut features two intriguing lead characters...Fans of Victorian mysteries, medical mysteries, and detective duos will appreciate this historical suspense. Suggest for fans of Andrea Penrose or Ritu Mukerji's debut." -- Library Journal STARRED REVIEW "An unusually violent and methodical killer terrorizes 1866 London in McDonough's debut...The spree of period murders, capped by a welcome surprise, provides the perfect backdrop for debates about gender politics." -- Kirkus Reviews "A stellar mystery, balancing the step-by-step collection of evidence and clues with the ruminations of the observant letter writer and leading to the gasp-inducing yet wholly believable identification of the perpetrator...Brilliant." -- Historical Novel Society "A promising start to a new series with a gritty, engaging plot and intriguing characters." -- Mystery & Suspense Magazine "All signs point to this satisfying and enjoyable debut setting up a series with a long, long run." -- Deadly Pleasures Magazine "This is simply the best series kick-off I've read since Victoria Thompson's Murder on Astor Place ." --Aunt Agatha's Mysteries "Enthralling debut. . .

Synopsis
As a deadly cholera pandemic burns its way through Victorian London in the winter of 1866, a trailblazing female physician and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective reluctantly team up to stop a sadistic killer in this dark, atmospheric, historically rich mystery for readers of Andrea Penrose and Deanna Raynourn., As a deadly cholera pandemic burns its way through Victorian London in the winter of 1866, a trailblazing female physician and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective reluctantly team up to stop a sadistic killer in this dark, atmospheric, historically rich mystery for readers of Andrea Penrose and Deanna Raynourn. "Enthralling debut. . . Mystery, pulsepounding suspense and a budding romance. More, please!"-Mary Jane Clark, New York Times Bestselling Author November 1866- The grisly murder site in London's East End is thronged with onlookers. None of them expect the calmly efficient young woman among them to be a medical doctor, arrived to examine the corpse. Inspector Richard Tennant, overseeing the investigation, at first makes no effort to disguise his skepticism. But Dr. Julia Lewis is accustomed to such condescension . . . To study medicine, Julia had to leave Britain, where universities still bar their doors to women, and travel to America. She returned home to work in her grandfather's practice-amid London's devastating cholera epidemic. Yet in four years she's seen nothing quite like this-a local clergyman's body sexually mutilated and displayed in a manner that she-and Tennant-both suspect is personal. Days later, another body is found with links to the first, and Tennant calls in Dr. Lewis again. The murderer begins sending the police taunting letters and tantalizing clues that lead from London's music halls to its grim workhouses and sewers. But as Lewis and Tennant struggle to understand the killer's dark machinations, there is a new urgency. For the doctor's role appears to have shifted from expert to target. And this killer is no impulsive monster, but a calculating opponent, determined to see his plan through to its terrifying conclusion . . ., As a deadly cholera pandemic burns its way through Victorian London in the winter of 1866, a trailblazing female physician and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective reluctantly team up to stop a sadistic killer in this dark, atmospheric, historically rich mystery for readers of Andrea Penrose and Deanna Raynourn.
