“What made this ebook such pleasurable reading was not the murder or even the Police procedure, but the rather wonderful cast of characters that the author, Emma Jameson, has created to populate her world. In the space of about 184 pages, Emma has managed to give us a whole collection of individuals, each very nicely rounded out and real. Even very minor players – such as the tall PC who finds … the pistol seems to be alive and obviously has a life outside the book.” — Tony Cole, eBookanoid.com
Anthony Hetheridge, ninth Baron of Wellegrave, Chief Superintendent for New Scotland Yard, never married, no children, no pets, no hobbies, and not even an interesting vice, will turn sixty in three weeks. With the exception of his chosen career, too sordid for his blue-blooded family to condone, his life has been safe and predictable. But then he meets Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield – beautiful, willful, and nearly half his age. When Hetheridge saves the outspoken, impetuous young detective from getting the sack, siding with her against Scotland Yard’s powerful male hierarchy, his cold, elegantly balanced world spins out of control. Summoned to London’s fashionable Belgravia to investigate the brutal murder of a financier, Hetheridge must catch the killer while coping with his growing attraction to Kate, the reappearance of an old flame, and the secret that emerges from his own past.
Deadly Trio: Ice Blue, Blue Murder, Something Blue appeared at #19 on the New York Times bestseller list on July 13, 2014.

This is a series to watch ! I’ve searched out the existing books & enjoyed them all !
I’ve enjoyed this entire series.
Good read
So good I looked up others by the author and will be reading them soon!
I stayed up reading until my eyes would not say opened, then I rushed through my daily routine so I could get back to the book. I loved this story.
Another slow moving read.
A good to read crime drama with good character development
Awesome story line. I couldn’t wait to read the next book. Loved the characters.
Too long so I gave up after a while.
Held my interest throughout the book. Would like to read the rest in the series.
This is a skillfully written series that I enjoyed tremendously. I highly recommend these books.
I always enjoy British “cop” stories – I enjoyed these characters. Nice plot twists.
Enjoyed both the romance between the main characters and the crime drama. Well-written. There are four books in the series, each is a stand-alone, although they are more enjoyable if read in sequence. Interesting to read a story written in British vernacular rather than my usual American.
Not your typical police procedural. I will be looking for others in this series.
I have read all of the L&LH books. Always a pleasure.
Love the English mystery novels. Proper, A bit twisted, witty and always a suprise. Characters are real people. Police are human. A very enjoyable read.
Could easily have happened. Great character strengths that intertwine well.
I thought the book was well written. Liked the characters and the premise.
Emma Jameson builds great characters that become comfortable friends quickly. Her narrative flows so smoothly you don’t want to stop reading(tomorrow is a work day) and when you finish you want to read the next book right away.
The only thing I don’t appreciate with these type book series is having to buy another to get the whole story.
