Set in gilded age New York, These Shallow Graves follows the story of Josephine Montfort, an American aristocrat. Jo lives a life of old-money ease. Not much is expected of her other than to look good and marry well. But when her father dies due to an accidental gunshot, the gilding on Jo’s world starts to tarnish. With the help of a handsome and brash reporter, and a young medical student who moonlights in the city morgue, Jo uncovers the truth behind her father’s death and learns that if you’re going to bury the past, you’d better bury it deep.

Why am I waiting?

I love historical fiction, it just has this certain air about it. Maybe because I am such a history nerd and love imagining what it would have been like to see and experiance life in historical settings. This one adds a mystery on top, which is also my favorite. I good ole historical mystery set to come out days before Halloween, with that super creepy cover...I am all over this!

What are you waiting on?
