Series Nominated for Reader's Choice Awards as Best Historical Mystery and Best Traditional Amateur Sleuth

For Fans of Cozy Mysteries, Amateur Sleuths, and Gilded Age Chicago History

GILDED AGE CHICAGO MYSTERY SERIES

Chicago in the 1890s is the fastest growing metropolis in America. It rivals New York as the City of the Century and the epitome of the Gilded Age. This melting pot of thieves and corrupt politicians, robber barons and immigrants, is rife with scandal and social injustice. An eccentric heiress and a star reporter find themselves repeatedly drawn into the hidden world of intrigue and murder that lurks within the shadows of the White City.

Volume Three - The Black Widow’s Prey - Arkana Series Crossover

Consulting detectives Evangeline LeClair and Freddie Simpson face their most challenging case, yet when a priceless Egyptian artifact is stolen from a Chicago museum. To make matters worse, the museum’s richest patron is robbed of a diamond necklace shortly afterward. Suspicion immediately falls on a wealthy widow and her scheming son. Trapped in their clutches is the widow’s hapless daughter, about to be forced into a marriage of convenience against her will.

The investigation is complicated by two mysterious strangers who have also taken an interest in the missing Egyptian relic. Solving both thefts will lead Freddie and Evangeline down some strange avenues of inquiry involving secret societies, international criminal masterminds, gentlemen jewel thieves, unexpected ocean voyages, and underworld kingpins. The two sleuths must either solve their case or join the ranks of fatalities numbered among The Black Widow’s Prey.

Once again a Fabulous murder mystery

OMG, Nancy has out done herself again. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen next, there was a plot twist and turn. I could not stop listening and dedicated a lot of my evening time listening.

I absolutely love how she ties the characters in this book to the characters in her first book. I think we are going to see more books and I can’t wait. If you have not read her 7 year Arkana series, you are missing out! Happy reading.

Didn’t hate it

The reader did nothing for me, she spoke slowly, as if she were reading to a class of 3rd graders. Perhaps the story is better than what I heard. I can’t say I hated it, but I just didn’t LIKE it, I will not be listening to any more of Lucinda Gainey’s performances.
