    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    As a writer, I work in three genres, mystery, historical fiction, and memoir. My mysteries include the China Bayles Herbal Mysteries and The Darling Dahlias, about a Southern garden club in the 1930s, as well as an eight-book series, the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter, and the 12-book series that my husband Bill Albert and I coauthored under the pseudonym of Robin Paige.

    My historical fiction includes THE GENERAL'S WOMEN, a wartime romance about Ike's love affair with Kay Summersby; LOVING ELEANOR, about the intimate friendship of Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok; and A WILDER ROSE, about the mother-daughter team that produced the Little House books. A WILDER ROSE is currently under option for film.

    Bill and I live in the Hill Country of Central Texas, where I write, garden, raise chickens, and practice the fiber arts. You can find out more in my two memoirs: TOGETHER, ALONE: A MEMOIR OF MARRIAGE AND PLACE; and AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR OF ORDINARY DAYS.

    Robin Paige is the pen name shared by Susan Wittig Albert and her husband and coauthor, Bill Albert.

    Bill grew up collecting butterflies and Pleistocene fossils on the outskirts of Houston. During his university years, he went skin diving and cave exploring in Mexico, volunteered in the excavation of a Roman theater in England, and built longtime friendships with a number of Brits. Stationed near Washington, D.C. while he was in the Army, he pursued research interests in history and archaeology at the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress. He became a private pilot and a skilled amateur photographer, experienced intensive training in firearms, and took solo walkabouts across Canada, Northern Europe, South America, and the South Pacific.

    Susan is widely known for her long-running mystery series: the China Bayles herbal mysteries, the Darling Dahlias, and the Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter, as well as for her memoirs and edited collections. "Teaming up with Bill has been a huge pleasure," she says. "As Robin Paige, we have more strengths than each of us individually. Plus, the projects have been hugely interesting and the research travel in England great fun!" When Susan isn't writing, you'll find her in her garden or in her favorite chair with a book or a needlework project in her lap.

    The Alberts live on 31 back-country acres of the Texas Hill Country, with an assortment of dogs, cats, and barnyard critters.

I didn't like this story as much as the previous ones, but it's still very enjoyable and informative. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were full of technical innovations. Well written and with a very good narrator, except for the American accent of the heroine, which doesn't quite make it. I just wish there was more romance.

This is the 4th book in the Victorian Mystery series by Robin Paige. Kate and Charles have married, though his family, particularly his mother, are not pleased about his choice of wife. They are asked by their dear friend, and motorcar fanatic, Bradford Marsden, to host a chase race, where the motorcars will compete to find a hot air balloon's landing spot. A local man, who apparently has died of natural causes, is found, but the locals feel that he may have been frightened to death by a motorcar. We meet Mr. Rolls and Mr. Royce prior to their joining forces to build British motorcars. The balloon is sabotaged and Kate joins the chase to find her husband. During the race, one of the competitors is killed and the death appears suspicious. Charles and Kate work together to solve the mystery. We get to see Amelia (Kate's maid and now housekeeper) and Amelia's husband, who works for Marsden. While I found the historical detail fascinating, especially around the cars and the variations on how they were powered and engineered, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the ones earlier in the series. It was still good, and I will definitely read the next in the series.

A terrific read and I am so enjoying my reread of this fine series. Historical detail is excellent and the characters come alive!

This episode, with a fairly newly married Kate and Charles Sheridan, illustrates the excitement and the danger in the new emerging automobile industry. An auto and balloon "race" turns deadly for one competitor and involves the Bishop's Keep household and many they hold dear.

On to the next in the series!

The third in the series finds our heroes married and still living in Bishops Keep. The interest of the neighbor's son in early cars takes center stage as balloon and car chase comes to town along with Rolls and Royce. Several cars are in the race -electric steam and gas powered- with very antagonistic drivers. The balloon is sabotaged and then there is a deadly car wreck. Were these accidents or intentional murder? Much more science than usual with actual fingerprints and microscopic evidence used in detail. Very engaging look at early forensics. Love these characters and the guest star approach to each mystery.

4.0 out of 5 stars IF you like Downton Abbey, Agatha Christie, and other British settings, you can fill the gap until Downton Abbey returns!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2015
Verified Purchase
LOVE this series. IF you are into Edwardian and Post-WWI Downton Abbey, you might really like this series. Detailed research into historic, political, and architectural history enhances the excellently plotted storylines. Historic characters abound, and are brought to life for modern readers. Since I also read histories of this era, I can say I haven't seen a 'misstep' historically. THANK you for the people I have grown to love. Not for everyone, though. You have to love a more cozy mystery (vs. say a graphically explicit action-suspense story like NCIS, or something). And, you sort of need to like 'details' that some might say bog down the action. I LOVE more classic mysteries like Agatha Christie, P. D. James, and Colin Dexter's Morse. Recently, I also like Sheila Connolly's series titles. THIS fits right in with those.

As I have lived in the Tendring area for forty years, I was going round the district visualising the plot. The Marlborough Head stand on the opposite corner t the Essex Rose tearoom. I wonder what it was in Kate's time. Love all the characters,and next way they interact with each other. I look to reading the next one.
