Why Kill the Innocent by C. S. Harris
During one of the worst winters in memory, the body of Jane Ambrose, a talented young musician, is found in a snowdrift. As music teacher to Princess Charlotte, heir presumptive to the throne, as well as the children of other aristocrats, Jane had ties to the royal court.
At first, Jane's death appears to be tied in some way to Princess Charlotte's upcoming bethrothal. But as a trail of bodies turn up in various London districts, it quickly becomes obvious that more than the court is involved and a complex web emerges. While Lord Jarvis and others close to the Prince Regent prefer to ignore Jane's murder, Sebastian St. Cyr and his wife Hero refuse to allow Jane's killer to go free.
I love this series, with its seamless blending of real and fictional characters with historical and political events. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys historical mysteries.
