LADY KILLER AND SECRET ADMIRER
Michelle Jaffe
Ballantine, May 2002, $6.99, 973 pp.
ISBN: 0345455622
LADY KILLER. Lady Clio Thornton finds the corpse of a young woman with vampire bites on her neck. Numerous witnesses observed Miles Loredon kill the vampire three years ago. As Clio and Miles work closely together to uncover the identity of the culprit they fall in love. However, he is not sure he trusts his sleuthing partner as he has doubts about the evidence though he would risk his soul to keep her safe. This is a tremendous historical romantic mystery that contains two wonderful protagonists and a hint of supernatural elements.

SECRET ADMIRER. Lady Tuesday Arlington paints her nightmares as her only way of coping with Death visiting her every night. When someone kills her spouse in an identical manner to a portrait done by Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth's Special Investigator Lawrence Pickering sees the paintings and believes Tuesday killed her husband. As he digs deeper into her life, he falls in love with her. In spite of the proof provided by the paintings, his heart insists she is innocent, but how will he prove so. This is an exciting historical romance and psychological suspense mystery starring a wonderful duo.

This combo book is the bargain of the year as the readers obtain two superbly written Elizabethan romantic mysteries with indications of the supernatural in each one. Either novel selling solo would be worth the price as Michele Jaffe provides triumphant stories that are winners for the audience.
