Two Dead Men
In London’s fashionable Chelsea, a Halloween bash goes terribly wrong. Emmeline Wardle, daughter of a frozen foods baron, throws a party which results in the demise of two university schoolmates. Handsome golden boy Trevor Parsons is dead. So is pasty computer nerd Clive French. Both died on the Wardle estate within minutes of one another, and both died the same way — an axe to the … — an axe to the skull. Given the social connections of all involved, New Scotland Yard sends a real baron to investigate: Chief Superintendent Anthony Hetheridge, also known as Lord Hetheridge, ninth baron of Wellegrave.
Two Prime Suspects
This time around, Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield and her partner, Detective Sergeant Deepal “Paul” Bhar, have their work cut out.

Kate must decide if Kyla Sloane, model-pretty and delicate, is being truthful about the events of that fateful night. And if Kyla’s connection to a former lover of Bhar’s means nothing — or everything.

Blue Murder, a Lord and Lady Hetheridge Mystery novel, by Emma Jameson, was a delightful British detective story full of murder, police procedure, drama, young adult angst, with a little romance thrown into the mix. Great murder plot, wonderful characters, and the hope of many more in the series.
Enjoyed every page
I loved book 1 ice blue so much I purchesed the 2nd book of the series and i loved the story so much book 3 is on my kindle wonderful stories i just can’t put them down
Good Read!
Keeps the excitement going. Excellent characters.
This was enjoyable to read. Some romance, happily ever after. Lots of very Brotish words that I had to look up their meanings.
Very fast developing plot but I had guessed the murderer a little before the author presented him.
This book is so good, you will want to read through the night! I certainly did.
This is a mystery series set in London featuring Scotland Yard detectives. It features a scrappy detective Kate, fellow detective Bhar and her boss, Lord Hetheridge.
The double murder takes place during a Halloween party thrown by rich college students. When the police arrive, they are treated like servants. Great contrasts in the life Kate …
It was ok
Liked all the books and this time period.
Unusual crime story. Enjoyed all the unusual happenings these immature college students were living. Self centered rich kids and star athletes. The murderer was a total surprise.
This is one of many Lord Hetherington books. Always a good read. I just wish the author would have these elite, supposedly well-educated Brits use better grammar in their dialogue. The wrong use of I/me, for example, drives me crazy!
I worked a career watching coworkers who couldn’t keep their pants up. Why glorify this behavior? Even done in a stupid fashion, old fart and young gal and of course he is an aristocrat and she working class. Come on people!
It had me guessing until the end.
Character driven plots, great mysteries, wonderful series.
I enjoyed the suspense and trying to figure out who did what with so many suspects
Very good read and a read that is not only thrilling but, also romantic. Worthy of the 5 stars.
Read others in same series. Good story line
Loved the characters
