Accomplished In Murder Captures Victorian Ambiance


Just started reading the sample of Accomplished In Murder by Dara England.  My first impressions
are that the sample definitely captures the ambiance of the period, particularly in the use of language and mood.  One arguable contrast exists in the use of detail.  In traditional Victorian fare (in this blogger's opinion), a good deal of time is devoted to description.  Here, the author definitely utilizes description, but does so as needed, as she starts out with the observations of the character of Celeste in a cemetery and then works her way into the perspective of the character of Druscilla.  For anyone looking for a murder mystery, take a look at Accomplished In Murder.  If you love period mysteries, you'll love this!  Once again, it's available for purchase here: Amazon.com.
