#SelfPromoSaturday! My spooky sapphic Victorian #mystery sees two dodgy con artists trying to stop an MP murdering his wife.

"...a gripping mystery with fraudulent medium, immersive locations and sense of time and a twist we never expected."

"absolute perfection"

#indieauthor #WomenSleuths
The Crooked Medium’s Guide to Murder by Stephen Cox A striking book cover with the title and author name dominating. A rich dark blue background, and a touch of mist. The text appears in gold in a gold rectangular frame, the font is old fashioned implying C19th century. The frame has three rondels or cameos each containing a picture. Top right is a golden bee brooch with the body and one wing streaked with red blood. Middle left is foxgloves, spires of small bell flowers in pink, white and purple. Bottom right is a dark brown medicine bottle, with a pale label. The word LAUDANUM is just visible. There are pink highlights on some of the letters. Taken together it is bold, mysterious, and Victorian.
