- Short biography
- Anna Castle is serious about series. She writes the Francis Bacon mysteries set in Elizabethan England, the Professor & Mrs. Moriarty mysteries set in Victorian London, and the Lost Hat, Texas mysteries.
She has earned a series of degrees -- BA in the Classics, MS in Computer Science, and a PhD in Linguistics -- and has had a corresponding series of careers -- waitress, software engineer, documentary linguist, assistant professor, and archivist. How that adds up to writing historical novels and madcap cozies is a mystery in itself, but it all revolves around her lifelong love of stories and learning. Anna physically resides in Austin, Texas, but mentally counts herself a queen of infinite space. [retrieved 7/24/2017 from Amazon.com Author Page]

Starts well, with very intriguing ideas, and good introduction of characters. However, about half way through several minor plot points emerged concerning the supporting characters that came completely out of nowhere and to no particular purpose. Also by the end of the book, the possible suspects had been gone over so many times, it was rather obvious who the murder had to be.
