I'm delighted to be taking part in the cover reveal for Miss Aldridge Regrets by Louise Hare today. Many thanks to Joe at Harper Collins for inviting me.
I loved Louise Hare's debut novel, This Lovely City when I read it in 2020 and I can't wait to read Miss Aldridge Regrets - it looks and sounds amazing. Before I show you the gorgeous cover, here's what the book is about.
From the author of This Lovely City comes a new historical murder mystery, this time set on board the Queen Mary
London, 1936
Lena Aldridge is wondering if life has passed her by. The dazzling theatre career she hoped for hasn’t worked out. Instead, she’s stuck singing in a sticky-floored basement club in Soho and her married lover has just left her. She has nothing to look forward to until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary bound for New York.
After a murder at the club, the timing couldn’t be better and Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. Until death follows her onto the ship and she realises that her greatest performance has already begun.
Because someone is making manoeuvres behind the scenes, and there’s only one thing on their mind…
MURDER
Miss Aldridge Regrets is the exquisite new novel from Louise Hare, the author of This Lovely City. A brilliant murder mystery, it also explores class, race and pre-WWII politics, and will leave readers reeling from the beauty and power of it.
Doesn't that sound intriguing? I love historical novels that explore important topics and I know this will be a beautiful, affecting read. The cover complements it beautifully so I won't keep you waiting any longer...
Gorgeous, isn't it? Miss Aldridge Regrets by Louise Hare will be published in the UK by HQ on 28th April 2022, pre-order links can be found here but please consider supporting independent bookshops whenever possible.
