Murder by Moonrise by Patrice Mcdonough
In this evocative, compelling mystery set in the Victorian era, Scotland Yard's first female medical examiner, the unconventional Dr. Julia Lewis, finds her holiday sidelined by a murderer who has infiltrated the royal family's summer retreat.1867: For commoners and nobility alike, the Isle of Wight is an ideal holiday destination. Queen Victoria and her family frequently spend time at Osborne House, their stunning coastal residence. For the next few days the island will also be home to Dr. Julia Lewis, who is traveling with her grandfather and her great-aunt. But despite the pleasant surroundings, Julia is beset by worries.
Julia and Inspector Richard Tennant grew close during their last investigation, but he abruptly left England on a dangerous chase. She has heard nothing from him in weeks; meanwhile her maid, Kate, is nervous about rising anti-Irish sentiment. Editorials call for harsh retaliation against those determined to rid Ireland of British rule.
When Julia is called to perform an autopsy on a drowning victim at Osborne House, she discovers the young, Irish-born servant, a favorite of Princess Louise, was pregnant. Was her death a suicide? The distraught princess is eager for answers, and as Julia digs deeper, a second tragedy points to murder and perhaps a political scandal. There are rumors of smugglers funneling weapons to Ireland--and assassins who would target the Queen herself . . .
