Praise for the Verity Kent Mysteries by Anna Lee Huber: "WWI buffs will love the in-depth historical detail." -- Publishers Weekly on A Certain Darkness "Stellar mystery.a great read for fans of the series and all who enjoy Downton Abbey-era fiction." --Booklist on A Pretty Deceit "A historical mystery to delight fans of Agatha Christie or Daphne du Maurier." --Bookpage on A Pretty Deceit "Readers looking for atmospheric mystery set in the period following the Great War will savor the intricate plotting and captivating details of the era." --Library Journal , STARRED REVIEW on Penny For Your Secrets "Besides sumptuous details and atmospheric settings, the relationships among the characters, especially the tenuous renewed intimacy between Verity and her war-traumatized husband, set this series above more standard mysteries. So come for the rich, complex flavor of the bottle of pinot gris in a room swaddled in thick brocade drapes, but stay for Sidney's wise observation of his wife's interrogations: "you see to the heart of how they want to be seen, even if it conflicts with who they truly are." --The Historical Novel Society on A Certain Darkness "Huber compellingly recalls the devastation wreaked on the minds of the people and the fabric of the countries involved.


A thrilling mystery that supplies its gutsy heroine with plenty of angst-ridden romance." --Kirkus Reviews on Treacherous is the Night "Masterful.Just when you think the plot will zig, it zags. Regardless of how well-versed you may be in the genre, you'll be hard-pressed to predict this climax.Deeply enjoyable.just the thing if you're looking for relatable heroines, meatier drama, and smart characters with rich inner lives." -- Criminal Element on Treacherous is the Night "Huber is an excellent historical mystery writer, and Verity is her best heroine.Topped off with a gripping mystery, this will not disappoint.


" --Historical Novel Society on Treacherous is the Night "Engrossing.Evocative historical details complement the well-drawn characters. The intricate plot builds to a surprising conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly on This Side of Murder.
