    About this ebook

    If you're not yet acquainted with the Jewish Regency Mystery Series, this is a great way to get introduced. Included in the holiday box set are:

    TEMPEST IN THE TEA ROOM: "[A] highly recommended page-turner" —Jewish Book Council
    In this full-length novel set in Regency London, a young doctor newly arrived in the city is accused of attempting to poison his patients, one of whom is a famously irascible noblewoman. It's up to wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed to discover the true culprit before the young man's reputation is ruined – and before the poisoner strikes again.

    JEWISH REGENCY MYSTERY STORIES: Once again there's trouble afoot in Regency London's Jewish community, and in these three mystery stories Mr. Ezra Melamed is confronted with some of the most baffling cases of his career. Included are:

    TOO MANY COINS: "A wonderful drawing room mystery"
    An ancient coin from the Land of Israel disappears during a dinner party. An honest mistake on the part of someone, or is someone trying to swindle one of the guests?

    WHAT'S IN A FLAME? "A great little whodunit" 
    A sukkah is destroyed in London's East End. A priceless diamond and pearl bracelet is lost in fashionable Mayfair. A coincidence? Or is there some hidden connection lying deep beneath the surface

    GENERAL WELL'NGONE IN LOVE: "One of the most charming tales that I have read in a long time." 
    A young Jewish orphan goes missing in London during the great Frost Fair of 1814. Is he merely lost? Has he been kidnapped? Or has the boy been killed?

     

    Plus, a bonus chapter about the history of Regency London's Ashkenazic Jewish community.
