Two of my Daisy Dalrymple mysteries that have been practically impossible to find for a long time will be reprinted in the UK this month, release date February 24th.

This is my only book set in the US, so I was very happy with this review in Publishers Weekly: "Dunn captures the melting pot of Prohibition era New York with humorous characterizations and a vivid sense of place...Throughout her travels in the States, Daisy is keenly attuned to people and place: race relations, regional accents, even foods all add to the texture of the story."

The setting is a real house, Cotehele, and though I've changed its name to Brockdene for the story, since descendants of the then owners are still around, I've described it as is, including a bit of its history since the 15th century. The main departure from reality is a secret tunnel, which I invented for a Regency I set there (Smugglers' Summer) and thought I might as well make use of again!

Both titles will be available from theBookDepository , shipping free to US.

Congratulations, Carola--on the new releases and on the lovely review from Publishers Weekly.
Thanks, Beth. I've been getting emails for years from people who can't find some of my titles--if you could find a copy of Muckraker it was going for a ridiculous price--so it'll be nice to be able tell people they can get it at last.
