Lady Anne and the Witch of Wintermede
Lady Anne Mysteries #6
When a brutal blizzard forces them to seek shelter at the home of Viscount Wintermede, Lady Anne and Lord Darkefell find themselves in the company of a cold-blooded killer . . .
Caught in a fierce winter storm as they travel north on their honeymoon, Lady Anne and Lord Darkefell are grateful to take refuge at Wintermede Abbey. But the relief they feel at finding safety and warmth soon turns to wary curiosity, as the strange family and guests gathered there seem caught in a drama of furtive glances and simmering hostility. Until one mischievous young man makes a show of alluding to improper liaisons and scandalous behavior—and is rewarded for his cleverness later that night with a fatal blow to the head.
Given the victim’s provocative nature and his apparent knowledge of shameful secrets, Anne isn’t completely surprised by his fate. She’s noticed that virtually all the occupants of Wintermede Abbey seem to be hiding something—high-born and servant alike—and is determined to discover which of them would kill to protect their secret. Methodically piecing together the clues, she slowly closes in on the guilty party, only to realize too late that once a person has killed to protect a secret, they won’t hesitate to kill again . . .

Testimonials
[An] outstanding series launch. . . Hamilton expertly balances the page-turning detection with the story of a hypocritical society
where women, whether they are scullery maids or orphans, rarely get to make their own decisions.
– Publishers Weekly
[A] simply riveting and compulsive page-turner of a read from cover to cover. A deftly scripted mystery with more
twists and turns than a Coney Island roller coaster.
– Midwest Book Review
About the Author
There was never a time when I didn’t want to be a writer, and it was how I always defined myself. But even when I wasn’t writing — which at first was most of the time! — I was reading. Since the moment my mom handed me an Agatha Christie book when I was twelve, I’ve been a devoted mystery fan, and the passion lives on!
It may seem odd, then, that I started my writing career as a Regency romance author, gradually moving to the paranormal romance, and then historical mystery writing. I truly enjoyed my time writing romance, and I believe that it was the perfect training ground to force me to focus on creating character.
But the urge to write and become published in mystery still held me captive. I finally achieved my life’s dream with the publication of the first Vintage Kitchen Mystery: A Deadly Grind, in May of 2012.
Aside from writing, I have a lot of hobbies and passions. I collect vintage bowls, especially Pyrex and kitchen utensils. I also have a sizable collection of teacups. Cooking and baking muffins — of course! — are beloved pastimes. I have the best friends and family in the world, and I am passionately fond of tea and anything sweet, especially brownies! I enjoy hobbies: crochet, cross-stitch, and beading, among other crafts.
But writing takes precedence over everything, and I truly love hearing from readers, treasuring the friends I’ve made over the years!

Some Touch of Madness
Having chosen to go to a women’s institution rather than live under her brother’s oppressive thumb, Emmeline is second-guessing her decision. Her ulterior motive was to learn under what circumstances her sister died there six years ago, but the conditions are dismal, the treatment is harsh, and the women are restricted on all sides. When one of the women is murdered, Emmeline resolves to solve the crime despite the powerful owner’s hostile insistence that the death was a suicide.
