ABOUT A LETHAL LADY:

A LETHAL LADY brings readers to Paris, but the protagonist at the center of the story is still her fiery self. Louise Lloyd is a hot-headed, proud and strong Black woman fending for herself and those society deems expendable. And in this installment, Lou’s much-needed vacation is cut short by the mysterious disappearance and murder of a famed Parisian artist.

 

Louise Lloyd is finally living the quiet life she’d longed for, working in a parfumerie by day and spending time with her new friends every night at the Aquarius club in Paris. 

When a desperate mother asks for help locating her artist daughter, Louise initially refuses to keep her hard-won but fragile peace intact. But the woman comes with a letter of introduction from an old friend in Harlem, and Louise realizes she has no choice but to do what she can to find the missing young woman.

The woman’s daughter, Iris Wright, is part of an elite social circle. Louise soon finds herself drawn into a world of privilege and ice-cold ambition—a young group of artists who will do anything to get ahead—but would they murder one of their own? With the help of some friends from home, Louise must untangle a web of lies, jealousy, and betrayal to find out what really happened to Iris while fighting to keep her new life from crashing down around her.

Starring a compelling heroine and touching on themes that are both historical and modern, A LETHAL LADY is an unforgettable tale perfect for your summer reading schedule. We are excited for the release of this novel this summer, and I hope you will consider it for review or spotlight attention on your platform.
