Description

There's trouble afoot in Regency London's Jewish community, and no one to stop the crimes—until wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed teams up with an unlikely pair: General Well'ngone and the Earl of Gravel Lane, the leaders of a gang of young Jewish pickpockets.

When a young doctor newly arrived in London is accused of attempting to poison his patients, one of whom is a famously irascible noblewoman, Mr. Melamed must discover the true culprit before the young man's reputation is ruined – and before the poisoner strikes again.

Tempest in the Tea Room is the first book in the Jewish Regency Mystery series, a refreshingly different look at Regency England which combines lovably quirky characters with a generous dash of humor

    A room full of people speaking at once? It felt like that at times. I didn’t come to know any one character particularly well but as a ensemble cast, it produced an interesting interplay and I enjoyed it.
  • Great “who-done-it” book.

    By taking known traditions and adding the cultural nuances of the time period, the mystery becomes more realistic.
