Lizanne Lloyd shares her book review for the fifth Ashmole Georgian mystery.. Black As She’s Painted by William Savage. Here is a snippet and please head over and read the review in full.

William Savage is the authentic voice of Georgian Norfolk and the reader soon feels quite at home wandering the streets of Norwich with the finely dressed, eccentric, Ashmole Foxe.

Although a womaniser who loves the best clothes and hates bad weather, he has a need to be busy and is well respected by the community for his ability to investigate crimes and bring the culprits to justice.
