cover:
Kathryn Ardleigh is everything the Victorian English gentlewoman is not - outspoken, free-thinking, American... and a writer of the frowned upon "penny-dreadfuls". When Kate arrives in Essex, England, she shocks the household at Bishop's Keep - and captures the interest of amateur detective Sir Charles Sheridan as they begin their first case together.
A dead body has been uncovered at a nearby archaeological dig. The investigation provides the perfect research for Kate's fiction. But the curious writer may be digging too deep - especially when the trail leads her into a secret occult society known as the Order of the Golden Dawn...

I don't know about beginning their first case together, neither Kate nor Charles seemed interested in sharing. It's all very well for Kate to want to maintain her independence, but she seems to go out of the way to repel the people who might help her or have her interest at heart. Despite that, I can see they might make a good team in future forays.
I enjoyed the book but generally dislike the use of real historical characters as players in the story. I know Conan Doyle developed an overwhelming interest in spiritualism, but I think it unnecessary to have him making conversation at an occultist party. Otherwise, it was quite well-written & I'll happily give Kate & Charles another go.
