Praise for R. J. Koreto: "Koreto's second case for his titled heroine is devilishly clever and written with unmistakable verve." --Kirkus Reviews on Death Among Rubies "Upstairs teams with downstairs in this thoroughly entertaining, witty Edwardian mystery debut... A solid choice for fans of Robin Paige and Downton Abbey." --Library Journal on Death on the Sapphire "Lady Frances is a strong, clever protagonist, in the mold of Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton and Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs." --Booklist on Death on the Sapphire "Fans of both Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie will embrace the subtly witty, refreshingly unconventional heroine in Koreto's debut series." --RT Book Reviews on Death on the Sapphire "An intelligent and engrossing historical novel with an wonderfully independent heroine (of the right social class!) and her enterprising maid. But it is by no means a cozy story, delving into the grim realities of war." --Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of the Molly Murphy and Royal Spyness mysteries on Death on the Sapphire "R. J. Koreto introduces a delightful new heroine with Lady Frances Ffolkes. Everyone underestimates Lady Frances and usually to their dismay. You'll love reading about her adventures as she takes time out from her efforts in the Women's Suffrage movement to solve the murder of an old friend." --Victoria Thompson, bestselling author of Murder in Morningside Heights on Death on the Sapphire "What a fun read, good storytelling that whisks along at a cracking pace, neatly plotted with a satisfying ending. Lady Frances Ffolkes is irresistible--caring, clever and resourceful. I look forward to meeting her again many times." --M.R.C. Kasasian, author of the Gower Street Detective series on Death on the Sapphire
