Ice Blue (Lord and Lady Hetheridge Mystery Series)
Description
"What made this ebook such pleasurable reading was not the murder or even the Police procedure, but the rather wonderful cast of characters that the author, Emma Jameson, has created to populate her world. In the space of about 184 pages, Emma has managed to give us a whole collection of individuals, each very nicely rounded out and real. Even very minor players - such as the tall PC who finds the pistol seems to be alive and obviously has a life outside the book." -- Tony Cole, eBookanoid.com First, let mexa0thank all my readers for their loyalty, patience, and kind words. The two questions I most often hear are, "Will there be more Hetheridge--'Blue'--books?" and "What else have you written?"Regardingxa0Lord & Lady Hetheridge ("Blue") books, the answer is a resounding yes. These stories about Tony, Kate, Paul, and all the rest come from my heart. I don't plan to stop as long as I can still string a sentence together. Those of you who follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter know I'm a huge fan of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Those movies often end with a single reassuring line like, TONY STARK WILL RETURN or SPIDER-MAN WILL RETURN. Well, Lord & Lady Hetheridge will return. Really.xa0Now, what else do I write? My second series, the Jem Jago Mysteries, is set in the Isles of Scilly, a lovely archipelago off the coast of Cornwall. Jem, a thirty-something Special Collections Librarian and amateur sleuth, has a knack for tripping over dead bodies and putting her nose in where it doesn't belong. At present there are three books in the series: A Death at Seascape House , A Death at Candlewick Castle , and A Death at Silversmith Bay . As of March 2022, I am at work on book four.My third series, the Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries, is set in Cornwall during the Second World War. It's a nostalgic, romantic, feel-good series that has inspired a passionate following. The first two books can presently be found wherever ebooks are sold, and the series will soon be relaunched and introduced to many new readers. Emma Jameson is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Lord & Lady Hetheridge cozy mystery series. Book #1, ICE BLUE, Book #2, BLUE MURDER, Book #3, SOMETHING BLUE,xa0Book #4, BLACK & BLUE, Book #5, BLUE BLOODED, Book #6, BLUE CHRISTMAS, and Book #7, UNTRUE BLUE, are available now. Her other series are the Jem Jago Mysteries (published by Bookouture) and the Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries.Emma started writing around age seven, but didn't find success as novelist until her early forties. Before the runaway success of ICE BLUE made her a full-time writer, she worked in the Ophthalmology department of a major medical center. Though she was born in Florida and currently lives in Tennessee, she's a lifelong Anglophile who never stops learning about England. In her spare time she is Head Servant to four cats: Howard the fat tabby, James the mischievous Tuxie, Zahara the imperious purebred grand dame, and Bobby the savvy ex-street cat. Read more

With the exception of his chosen career, too sordid for his blue-blooded family to condone, his life has been safe and predictable. But then he meets Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield - beautiful, willful, and nearly half his age. When Hetheridge saves the outspoken, impetuous young detective from getting the sack, siding with her against Scotland Yard's powerful male hierarchy, his cold, elegantly balanced world spins out of control. Summoned to London's fashionable Belgravia to investigate the brutal murder of a financier, Hetheridge must catch the killer while coping with his growing attraction to Kate, the reappearance of an old flame, and the secret that emerges from his own past.
