First up??
Anticipating finally getting into Julianna Deering's
4th of the 
Drew Farthering vintage mystery series
that meets the "1 scary book" readathon requirement.
~
This traditional British mystery gets a Regency twist when Drew and Madeline Farthering celebrate their six-month anniversary by attending a fancy Regency era costume party. Their knowledge of Jane Austen is evident and plenty of quotes add to the reading enjoyment.

Drew is glad to see Talbot Cummins, an Oxford classmate, with his fiancée, Alice Henley, though many present seem worried about the couple. Everyone's concerns are realized when, at the concluding grand ball, Alice dies of an overdose of cocaine. Tal refuses to believe she took the stuff intentionally, and Drew is determined to find out if her death was an accident or murder.


Drew is shocked and disillusioned when the police arrest Tal's father and reveal that the man has been smuggling drugs into the country for the past twenty years. Tal, reeling from the death of his fiancée and the revelation about his father, begs Drew to find out what's going on. Drew, now questioning his own ability to see people as they really are, does so reluctantly, not ready for the secrets he's about to uncover--or the danger he'll bring down on everyone he holds dear. -publisher
