The Palace Murder by VL McBeath was a page-turner. Eliza is like a dog with a bone. Constantly gnawing away at it until she gets to the truth. And she doesn't let Victorian thinking stop her. She reminds me of the Suffragettes of the time. This book was very enjoyable to read. The story was engrossing, and the characters were believable. If you like amateur detectives, you'll like Eliza Thomson. I highly recommend this book to other cozy readers. Very sad to get to the end of this series of books! Really enjoyed them all and look forward to the next release! Well, what can I say......another great story with a twist here and there. Wonderful characters, a great story. Your books are so much fun to read, I enjoy them very much. Of course, I had to read it all right away, could not put it down...I had a great time reading......can't wait for the next one.....

Author Information

Born and raised in Liverpool (UK), VL McBeath (Val) initially trained as a scientist and worked in the pharmaceutical industry for many years. It was only more recently she developed a passion for writing. Her first series, The Ambition & Destiny Series, arose out of Val's interest in her family's history. After many years it was developed into an epic family saga based on the lives of her Victorian-era ancestors. From start to finish, the short story prequel and the five full-length novels took over seven years to write and publish. By the time they were finished, writing was such a big part of Val's life she decided to carry on and added a standalone novel to the series. In addition, Val also has a second series available: Eliza Thomson Investigates. This is a series of standalone murder mysteries set in the early 20th century. Eliza is a fictional amateur sleuth who makes the most of her position being married to the village doctor. Along with her her best friend Connie and occasionally her son, Henry, Eliza likes to help the police with their murder enquiries - whether they want her to or not! Val lives in Cheshire with her husband and cat, Lia. In addition to family history, her interests include rock music and Premier League Football.
