Praise for Murder at the Merton Library by Andrea Penrose ""[Penrose] rewards diligent readers with a pulse-pounding climax, and her deep dive into early 18th-century technology is a treat. In the crowded field of Regency mysteries, this series stands out."" --Publishers Weekly ""An excellent mystery bolstered by fascinating information about a life-changing invention."" --Kirkus Reviews ""The plot moves quickly with unexpected complications that keep the reader intrigued. The dialogue is lively; the author has a discriminating sense of timing. The climax is worthy of the complications, and the ending is felicitous."" --Historical Novel Society ""As in every Penrose novel, the solution to these linked crimes is generated through the loyalty and insight of intelligent and caring friends--which is why her fiction is, as Lord Wrexford's friends would say, 'infernally satisfying.'"" --New York Journal of Books ""A fascinating and educational journey into the Regency era filled with new inventions, ruthless villains, greedy aristocrats, and the power of family."" --Fresh Fiction
