We are thrilled to announce that we have signed the fourth book in the Mary Shelley Investigations by Donna Gowland, thrilling historical mysteries featuring a tenacious literary heroine.
Here, Donna tells us what to expect from the latest instalment:
“I’ve had such wonderful feedback from readers who have enjoyed learning more about Mary Shelley’s real life as she participates in her fictional investigative endeavours, and I can’t wait to take them on another wild adventure in book four!
“In the new book, Mary, Percy and Claire follow Lord Byron to Geneva to spend an unseasonably wet summer mostly trapped and bored at Villa Diodati. As a result of the terrible weather, Byron proposes a contest to see who can write the best ghost story.
“Not only did this true event give me the chance to take the trio abroad once again, but it also brings Lord Byron — the infamous poet — fully onto the stage, as well as another shadowy creature, Victor Frankenstein.
“When the group witness the first of several attempts made on opera singer Silvia de Silva’s life, Silvia hires Mary to find out who is trying to kill her. Mary soon finds herself in a race against time to find the would-be-murderer before they can strike again.
“Will Claire ever win Byron’s heart? Will Mary and Percy find the assassin? And can they all survive a summer full of monsters and secrets, especially when the monsters are man-made?”
The Mary Shelley Investigations are available from Amazon now.
