Praise for Under a Veiled Moon

Under a Veiled Moon, by Karen Odden
Under a Veiled Moon by Karen Odden

“An exceptional sequel to Down a Dark River … Odden never strikes a false note, and she combines a sympathetic lead with a twisty plot grounded in the British politics of the day and peopled with fully fleshed-out characters. Fans of Lyndsay Faye’s Gods of Gotham trilogy will be enthralled.” –Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

Praise for Karen’s Books

I would definitely recommend

Elizabeth was no shrinking violet and had a fire to her. . . . I would definitely recommend this to any fan of the Victorian era or who just wants a good little mystery to keep them busy for awhile.

Is This Book for Me

Well-researched History

You can smell the water of the Thames and hear the cries of the cormorants in Karen Odden’s newest, vividly set in Victorian London. This twisty-turn-y mystery introducing a new and charismatic detective will delight readers also looking for well-researched history.

Filled with all sorts of twists and turns and all sorts of secret, and not-so-secret, relationships . . . Fans of historical mysteries will enjoy this excellent mystery and romance.
