Description:

Edith Skom returns, better than ever, with another clever tale of English professor and amateur sleuth Beth Austin. With her unique ability to twist a plot with humor, style, and flair, Skom is certain to meet her fans' great expectations. The Charles Dickens Murders is perfect for readers who enjoy the books of Amanda Cross and Elizabeth Peters.

On a sweltering summer night, a woman is murdered in her hospital bed in New York City. Almost a thousand miles away, Midwestern University professor Beth Austin is leading a class through the complete works of Charles Dickens. The framework that connects this tale of two cities begins to unfold when Beth learns something she never could have imagined: forty years ago, her mother was involved in a treacherous love triangle at the University of Chicago.

Disturbed by her mother's past of painful lies, secrets, and murder, Beth is determined to find out the truth-no matter the cost. As she delves into the story of the man her mother loved and her rival for his affections, Beth discovers that these old deadly secrets may well destroy her own dreams for the future.


Edith Skom is the author of The Mark Twain Murders and The George Eliot Murders and has been nominated for the Agatha, Macavity, and the Anthony Award. She lives outside of Chicago, Illinois, where she is a lecturer at Northwestern University.
