Description

A Wicked Conceit by Anna Lee Huber is a historical mystery set in Edinburgh, Scotland, in March 1832. Kiera and her husband Sebastian Gage are expecting their child but soon find themselves entangled in a series of crimes inspired by a new play and book featuring the notorious criminal Bonnie Brock Kincaid. As the body of the publisher is found brutally murdered in an imitation of a gruesome scene from the play, the finger points to Bonnie Brock as the possible culprit. Kiera and Gage must navigate their own family quarrels and secrets while searching for the killer, who seems to be always one step ahead. With the cholera outbreak still affecting the city and their own child on the way, they will need all the resources they can gather to uncover the truth. As death lurks around every corner, Kiera and Gage must confront the darker side of Edinburgh's underworld and face the possibility that the truth may not set them free.
