Review: Death Under Wrathful Skies

 

"Death Under Wrathful Skies" is the second installment in the Victoria Sedgewick series. Victoria is learning to deal with her reduced circumstances and is determined to make a go of her fledgling career as an private inquiry agent. 

In this episode, Victoria works with Mr. Keats, the agent who had looked into her husband's mysterious death, to solve a series of murders that are alarmingly similar. Bodies are stacking up and clues are in short supply, but Victoria is determined to make a name for herself in the detecting business.

As a character, Victoria is becoming more deliberate in her hunt for clues. She thinks aloud and uses her loyal servants, including Mrs. Bell the Housekeeper and Mr. Warrington the Butler, as sounding boards for her ideas. Both indulge Victoria, but also work to bring her back to the ground.

This story is great for those who enjoy cozy mysteries and historical mysteries.
