Verity Kent Mystery Book 5: Murder Most Fair

In USA Today bestselling author Anna Lee Huber's captivating mystery series, the home front is far from quiet as former Secret Service agent Verity Kent finds herself entangled in a dangerous situation. It is November 1919, and Verity and her husband, Sidney, are enjoying a relaxing few weeks by the seaside, almost believing that life has returned to its pre-war rhythm. However, their peaceful existence is disrupted when Verity's beloved Great-Aunt Ilse arrives on their doorstep. After years in war-torn Germany, Ilse has come to England to restore her health and escape trouble. She has been receiving anonymous threats, and Verity's Secret Service connections offer only unsettling explanations.

As they retreat to the Yorkshire Dales for the holidays with Verity's family, Ilse continues to face challenges. Their normally friendly neighbors are now hostile, looking for someone to blame for their losses. When Ilse's maid is found dead, Verity must determine if this is an act of anti-German sentiment taken to a deadly extreme, or if there is a more personal motive at play. Could Lord Ardmore, Verity's mysterious adversary, be involved? And if so, how close to home will his next strike hit?

The series has been praised by Publishers Weekly as "a treat for WWI buffs and fans of Verity." Anna Lee Huber's novel Penny for Your Secrets has been hailed as "A historical mystery to delight fans of Agatha Christie or Daphne du Maurier" by Bookpage, and Booklist describes it as "Stellar mystery...a great read for fans of the series and all who enjoy Downton Abbey-era fiction."
