Murder by Lamplight, by Patrice McDonough
As further proof--if needed--that covers sell books, the only reason I looked at this ARC was this cover; the blurb just clinched the deal. And boy, am I glad I read it! Beware: PTSD; claustrophobia; ...

#ATreacheryofSwans is an enchanting, well-crafted, darkly whimsical, and earnestly touching fantasy story with a sapphic romance subplot. It’s endearing and touching. 4⭐️

I normally hate Regency romance. Even Bridgerton on Netflix is a stretch for me. But I should have known that I was safe in Emily Rath's hands! I can't wait to read book 2, which is getting the same stunning treatment in October! #whychoose #netgalleyarc #sprayededges #specialedition

As is often the case, the cover caught my eye and the blurb intrigued me, so I requested an ARC. Beware: rape; misogyny; suicide; some ugly late 1940s stereotypes on women, mental health, etc. The Noh...
