Review “IN THE SHADOW OF VESUVIUS” By Tasha Alexander

What better way is there to start out 2020 than to be given the 14^th Lady Emily Mystery? Yes, that is exactly what this beloved author has done for readers worldwide.

Millions are already knee-deep in this bestselling Victorian series, and this time the amazing Lady Emily and her husband Colin will be solving a mystery against the backdrop of one of the most thrilling locations on the map: Pompeii.

We know there has always been thrills and chills associated with Pompeii and its destruction. But Lady Emily finds there are even more secrets waiting there when she uncovers a corpse that is, quite literally, in plain sight.

She gets to this moment when an old friend of hers by the name of Ivy Brandon asks Emily to come on an excursion to Italy. They soon make new Americans friends: Benjamin Carter, a slightly depressed painter; and his sister Calliope, who works as an archaeologist. These siblings really act like polar opposites. But when the females of the group, along with Colin, stumble over this “fresh” corpse, they are basically blown off by the police. The law decides that the crime was nothing more than local gangsters doing what they do. Lady Emily, however, decides to solve the mystery herself.

This is not Emily’s only problem, unfortunately. A young woman comes out of nowhere to claim a relationship to Emily’s husband’s family, and proceeds to treat Emily horribly. In addition, threats soon begin to arrive on Emily’s proverbial doorstep, as if warning her to stay out of things.

Readers will not only love this book and be thrilled to see their favorite characters once more, but they will also dive right into the beautiful scenery that goes from Pompeii to Naples, and from modern to ancient days. Lady Emily is still one of those strong women who never fails to take risks in order to see that justice is done!
