A new mystery series!

I just released the print and ebook editions of A Winter Murder in Berlin, book one of The Berlin Murders. A blurb is below.

 

The voyage of a lifetime turns into a nightmare. When Katherine Schmidt sails for Europe in late 1929, she looks forward to a year of carefree travel thanks to an unexpected inheritance. But when a companion on her steamer is murdered and she becomes a suspect, she needs to find the real killer before the police close in. Now she must delve into Weimar Berlin’s decadent nightlife and radical politics in order to clear her name. Can an innocent young woman from Missouri outwit fascists, communists, and the denizens of Berlin’s notorious shadow world? Welcome to book one of The Berlin Murders, a new historical mystery series by award-winning author Sean McLachlan.
