The Painted Lady by Edward Marston
pbk out March 08 (Allison Busby) at £7.99

Taking a break from his successful 'railway detective' series, the prolific Miles has produced another Restoration period romp featuring architect Christopher Redmayne. The painted lady of the title is Araminta Jewell, a woman so delectable that her admirers have formed the Society for the Capture of Araminta's Maidenhead – nor are they deterred by her marriage to the unappetising Sir Martin Culthorpe. Her husband's death prompts Christopher to launch into fresh detective exploits. A lively tale.
