A Crimson Warning
Book 6 of the Lady Emily series
324 pages · First published 2011
Lady Emily Hargreaves returns to London society just as someone begins splashing red paint across the homes of prominent people. The marks are followed by revelations of carefully hidden scandals, and the resulting disgrace soon leads to violence and death. Emily’s investigation takes her through the hypocrisies of Victorian high society while her interest in women’s suffrage and classical scholarship continues to distinguish her from conventional aristocratic expectations. Tasha Alexander’s sixth Lady Emily mystery combines historical detection, marriage, politics, and a villain who turns reputation itself into a weapon.
