Victorian San Francisco Mystery Series

The Victorian San Francisco Mystery series, written by USA Today bestselling author M. Louisa Locke, are light-hearted cozies that feature Annie, a woman with unusual business expertise, and Nate, a San Francisco lawyer, as they investigate crimes set in the foggy, gas-lit world of late nineteenth century San Francisco. The mysteries in this series each feature a different occupation held by women of this period, from domestic service in the first book of the series, Maids of Misfortune, trance mediumship in Uneasy Spirits, public school teaching in Bloody Lessons, the printing trades in Deadly Proof, department store clerks in Pilfered Promises, university students in Scholarly Pursuits, and the medical professions in Lethal Remedies. Locke is currently completing the eighth book in the series about women in the woolen textile manufacturing industry, Entangled Threads.
