Characters one cares about immediately and a mystery which becomes more urgent with every page." --Anne Perry, author of the Thomas Pitt and William Monk series <p/>"Anna Dean has captured the tricky business of presenting a clever and resourceful woman, hedged in by a tight-laced society, who turns those limitations to her own benefit. Decorative and thoughtful, BELLFIELD HALL is a worthy addition to the historical crime tradition." --Laurie R. King, author of TOUCHSTONE <p/>"This wonderful mystery is rich in suspense, period detail, humor and most of all characters. They come alive, and none more than Miss Dido Kent. In her Anna Dean has created a masterpiece of detection, a Miss Marple-esque character both razor sharp and kindly. A totally enjoyable read!" --Louise Penny, Agatha award-winning author of the Armand Gamache mysteries <p/>"Anna Dean's elegantly-plotted debut is sure to delight Regency lovers and mystery fans alike." --Deanna Raybourne, author of SILENT IN THE GRAVE</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Anna Dean set about crafting stories at the age of five under the impression that everyone was taught to write in order to pen books. By the time she discovered her mistake, the habit was too deeply ingrained to give up. She resides in the Lake District of England.</p>
