Named BookLife Reviews "Editor's Pick" - "Setting this series apart from other historical mysteries is Brighton's deft hand at capturing the dishy lives of long ago ... has the feel of a great cocktail party... the tangled mysteries compel ... a polished, rewarding page-turner ..."


"it's hard to resist the detailed and authentic world [he] creates ... time and place are fully realized in this murder story ... a fascinating period piece ... - Kirkus Reviews


A lush and immersive historical award-winning mystery inspired by a 'true crime of the century' that shocked the world.


New Year's Day 1902 . . . Ashwood awakens to a foul murder . . .


Buffalo, New York . . . as the remains of the great Pan-American Exposition are swept away, and the bitter memories of William McKinley's assassination begin to fade . . . the city reels again, at the sensational murder of successful businessman Edward Miller, bludgeoned to death in his cozy den, in one of the city's most fashionable enclaves: Ashwood.


But for all its glitz and glamor, Ashwood guards the dark secrets of its fashionable residents . . . including those of Edward's estranged wife Alicia, her lover Arthur Pendle, and would-be detective Sarah Payne. Soon, they will all face a hurricane of courtroom drama, public outrage, and the behind-the-scenes scheming of cold and corrupt District Attorney Terence Penrose.


Meanwhile, those caught up in the most scandalous crime of a new century have reputations to protect . . . skeletons best kept hidden away in the tidy closets of trendy Ashwood . . . and plenty of reasons to keep the motive behind Edward Miller's murder from ever seeing the light of day - a motive that only the victim and his killer knew ...


Can justice be done . . . and the truth uncovered by Sarah's fledgling Avenging Angel Detective Agency . . . before a killer strikes again?


Find out in award-winning A Murder in Ashwood . . . the second novel in the Avenging Angel Detective Agency(TM) Mysteries from Robert Brighton, acclaimed author of The Unsealing.
It's as much a 'whydunit' as a 'whodunit' in a page-turning story that leaves readers wanting more.
Contains three original interior scratchboard illustrations.
