"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"
