Editorial Reviews
From Booklist

Emerson, author of the Lady Appleton and Diana Spaulding mystery series, turns her hand to how it’s done in this useful guide to writing historical crime fiction. Drawing on her own works and those of her fellow historical-mystery writers (Kerry Greenwood, Alan Gordon, Carola Dunn, and others), she lays out, in commonsense sequence, the stages of planning and writing a historical mystery. Chapters on choosing setting and character, research, crafting a plot, and selling your book offer much of the same information as similar chapters in other how-to books for mystery writers, but the information is nicely tailored for this particular genre. Published writers probably won’t find much here that they don’t already know, but budding historical novelists will discover a wealth of helpful tips and may want to keep a notebook handy to jot them down. The book finds its niche and fills it well. --David Pitt
Review
“...a comprehensive guide, full of seasoned advice and rich examples.” -- Hallie Ephron, author of Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel

“I can’t imagine a question about historical mysteries that isn’t answered here. Do not start writing your historical mystery without this book!” -- Carolyn Wheat, author of How To Write Killer Fiction
