Waiting on Wednesday 12/17/14
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that lets us feature upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!
Mogsy’s Pick:
Unseemly Science by Rod Duncan: May 5, 2015 (Angry Robot)
Angry Robot is on a little break right now, but you can be sure they’ll be coming back with a vengeance once the new year hits. There are so many books to look forward to from this publisher in the first half of 2015. One that I think deserves more attention is this sequel to The Bullet-Catcher’s Daughter, which I think slipped through a lot of radars earlier this year. A shame, because it was quite good.
Also, get a load of that cover. I love the effect.
“In the divided land of England, Elizabeth Barnabus has been living a double life – as both herself and as her brother, the private detective. Witnessing the hanging of Alice Carter, the false duchess, Elizabeth resolves to throw the Bullet Catcher’s Handbook into the fire, and forget her past. If only it were that easy!
There is a new charitable organisation in town, run by some highly respectable women. But something doesn’t feel right to Elizabeth. Perhaps it is time for her fictional brother to come out of retirement for one last case…? Her unstoppable curiosity leads her to a dark world of body-snatching, unseemly experimentation, politics and scandal. Never was it harder for a woman in a man’s world…”

Gotta love sequels with coordinating cover art! Thankfully I have a few months before this comes out, so I’ve got plenty of time to read The Bullet Catcher’s Daughter.

You are THE QUEEN of introducing me to new books. You’re right, The Bullet-Catcher’s Daughter slipped through my radar but man those covers are EPIC. I’ll be adding (yet another one) of your recommendations to my tbr shelf 😀 Thanks Mogsy!!

I actually started reading it, book 1 that is and you’re right it does look like it’s going to be good. I’ll have to be sure to get it read in time for the next books release.

I thought AR had been quiet – I didn’t realise they’re on a break! This one looks interesting! Will look forward to seeing what them come up with in 2015.
