About this ebook

The New York Times Bestselling series.

Anthony Hetheridge, ninth Baron of Wellegrave, Chief Superintendent for New Scotland Yard, never married, no children, no pets, no hobbies, and not even an interesting vice, will turn sixty in three weeks. 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.

Fall in love with Ice Blue, book #1 in the New York Times bestselling Lord & Lady Hetheridge mystery series.

From the Author:

Ms. Jameson would like to thank all her readers for their loyalty, patience, and kind words. The two questions new readers always ask are, "Will there be more Hetheridge--'Blue'--books?" and "What else have you written?"

Regarding question one, will there be more Lord & Lady Hetheridge ("Blue") books, the answer is yes. When asked when she plans to end the series, she replied, "Never." She is already at work on book #5, Blue Blooded.

Regarding question two, what else has she written, please try the Dr. Benjamin Bones cozy mystery series. Set in wartime England beginning in September 1939, this nostalgic, romantic series follows the amateur sleuthing of Dr. Bones, a native Londoner, in his adopted Cornish village, Birdswing. Book #1, Marriage Can Be Murder, and book #2, Divorce Can Be Deadly, are available now. Also available is Dr. Bones and the Christmas Wish, a charming novella about love lost and love found.

Picked this up as a freebie, and for the first time was compelled to buy the rest of the series. The characters are great, quirky, human and English. Surprising for an American writer that she doesn't end up making them "an American perception of how the English behave", which I found brilliant. Kate, Tony, Paul and the supporting cast are brilliant and as the series moves on, it's interesting to see how comes up and how they interact with others. Other majorly good thing, the author doesn't rely on being foul mouthed, vulgar or resorting to writing it like a dodgy bodice ripper to get the point across. Too many books set presently resort to this to sound modern and edgy and it just ends up being crass and a turn off. The less is more approach to anything from sexual assault to knife violence is refreshing. I appreciate that the focus is on good writing and a great story.

London, British-detective, British-humor, law-enforcement, class-consciousness, friendship, friction, laugh-riot, procedural***** If you're expecting a good but standard police procedural, you get the good and procedural right. But this one is so much more fun (bordering on farce)! The title refers to DCI/Baron Hetheridge's eyes, and the co-conspirators in his department are a Cockney DS with home problems and a Britisher whose parents are from Colonial India. And the murders involve those of "privilege". I laughed myself silly with it all! I'm from Wisconsin, so I really appreciated the efforts of voice actor Matthew Lloyd Davies to help me with easy differentiation of characters in the audio.
