Reviews
Praise for Death Among Rubies : "Koreto's appealing sequel...nicely blends international intrigue and affairs of the heart." -- Publishers Weekly "Koreto's second case for his titled heroine is devilishly clever and written with unmistakable verve." -- Kirkus Reviews "Koreto skillfully contrasts the feminist milieu of 1907 England with the establishment class structure. Lady Frances and Mallow are an effective pairing." -- Booklist Praise for the Death on the Sapphire : "Upstairs teams with downstairs in this thoroughly entertaining, witty Edwardian mystery debut... A solid choice for fans of Robin Paige and Downton Abbey ." -- Library Journal "[A] refreshing debut... Readers will look forward to seeing more of Frances in the promised sequel." -- Publishers Weekly "Lady Frances is a strong, clever protagonist, in the mold of Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton and Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs." -- Booklist "Fans of both Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie will embrace the subtly witty, refreshingly unconventional heroine in Koreto's debut series." -- RT Book Reviews "An intelligent and engrossing historical novel with an wonderfully independent heroine (of the right social class!) and her enterprising maid. But it is by no means a cozy story, delving into the grim realities of war." --Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of the Molly Murphy and Royal Spyness mysteries "R. J. Koreto introduces a delightful new heroine with Lady Frances Ffolkes. Everyone underestimates Lady Frances and usually to their dismay.

Lady Frances Ffolkes is irresistible--caring, clever and resourceful. I look forward to meeting her again many times." --M.R.C. Kasasian, author of the Gower Street Detective series "A memorable heroine--a young suffragette--and her equally dauntless maid engage in a battle of wits against the Establishment that is ready to kill to keep the truth buried. An enjoyable read." --Carola Dunn, author of the Daisy Dalrymple mysteries "Spirited and tenacious, Lady Frances Ffolkes is a force to be reckoned with as she endeavors, undaunted by all obstacles, to find a missing manuscript and solve the murder of a family friend in this charming Edwardian-era mystery. With Death on the Sapphire , R.J. Koreto has given us a winning heroine and a thoroughly delightful read." --Ashley Weaver, author of the Amory Ames mysteries "Suffragette Lady Frances Ffolkes takes readers on a spirited journey to locate a stolen manuscript and solve the murder of a family friend.

    Exceptional seller! Excellent communication, care in packaging, and professional service from the beginning. Had an issue with the sending Post Office, and seller kept us informed all the way, and followed up too! This is the type of eBayer our community needs more of! Thank you for caring!
