Alyssa Maxwell is a historical mystery author with two long-running series. The Gilded Newport Mysteries, which began with Murder at the Breakers in 2014, follows reporter Emma Cross as she investigates murders at the grand mansions of Newport, Rhode Island during the Gilded Age. With thirteen books in the series, each one is set at a different historic Newport estate.
Her second series, A Lady and Lady’s Maid Mystery, is set in early 20th-century England and follows Lady Phoebe Renshaw and her lady’s maid, Eva Huntford. Starting with Murder Most Malicious in 2015, this series has grown to nine books and brings the same historical mystery formula to an English country house setting.
Both series appeal to readers who enjoy mysteries woven into richly detailed historical settings. Maxwell’s work is well-suited for fans of Downton Abbey-era fiction who want a murder mystery alongside their period drama.
