Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Samantha Larsen!
Writes:
Cozy mysteries that are like the perfect cup of tea. A little history for flavor. A dash of mystery to make it spicy. And a spoonful of sweet romance. Grab your mug and come explore 1784 England. Miss Tiffany Woodall is a spinster librarian looking for love—not a dead body in front of her cottage! She must solve the murder before the prejudiced justice of the peace puts her behind bars or another person that she cares for. But being a single woman in the 18th century is anything but a fairy tale.
About:
A former librarian looking for someone who enjoys mysteries with corsets and cravats! Samantha only reads mysteries and kissing books. Her favorite are mysteries with kissing. She lives in Utah and owns more books than she can count. Her ideal date would be a good book and a hot beverage. She also writes historical romances under “Samantha Hastings.”
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- Darcy, Howl, and Mr. Rochester all rolled up into one perfect man!
- Must love books, bookshops, and libraries
- Someone who enjoys mature heroines; particularly lady detectives in their 40s #wink
- A reader who adores rewritten fairy tales
- A partner who likes their mystery with a healthy dash of romance
What to expect if we're compatible:
- 1784 England; and a bossy six-year-old Duke
- A whole lot of tea
- Laugh-out-loud awkward situations
- Unfortunately, some prejudice against women and persons of color (the 18th century was awful that way!)
- Found family and a fairy tale villain
A Lady Librarian Mystery #2
Miss Tiffany Woodall must sleuth the slaying of a footman to clear her beloved's name in the second Lady Librarian mystery, in the vein of Deanna Raybourn and perfect for fans of Bridgerton.
1784 England. Officially hired as the librarian for the Duchess of Beaufort, Miss Tiffany Woodall is through with masquerades and murders for good. That is, until she stumbles upon the frozen dead body of former footman Mr. Bernard Coram. The speed with which her peaceful new life is upended is one for the record books: the justice of the peace immediately declares her the primary suspect in the murder.
As Tiffany hunts for the truth to clear her name, she learns that Bernard got into a fight over a woman at the local pub the night of his death–but he was also overheard blackmailing Samir. The justice of the peace arrests Samir, and Tiffany realizes that her life may have more in common with a tragic play than a light-hearted romance.
With her love locked up in jail and her own reputation on the line, Tiffany must attempt to solve the murder before the book closes on her or Samir’s life.
