Reggiecide (Reeves & Worcester Steampunk Mysteries Book 2)
“A fun blend of P.G. Wodehouse, steampunk and a touch of Sherlock Holmes,” – SF Revu
Guy Fawkes is back and this time it’s a toss up who̵
7;s going to be blown up first – Parliament or Reginald Worcester, gentleman consulting detective.But Guy might not be the only regicide to have been dug up and reanimated. He might be a mere pawn in a plan of diabolical twistiness.
Only a detective with a rare brain – and Reggie’s is amongst the rarest – could possibly solve this ‘five-cocktail problem.’ With the aid of Reeves, his automaton valet, Emmeline, his suffragette fiancée, and Farquharson, a reconstituted dog with an issue with Anglicans, Reggie sets out to save both Queen Victoria and the Empire.
This 19,000 word novella is the sequel to t
he WSFA Small Press Award finalist, What Ho, Automaton!REVIEWS
“I find that a good book is enjoyable by the end of the first chapter. This book was good by the end of the first SENTENCE – ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that a chap in possession of a suffragette fia ncee is in need of a pair of bolt cutters.’ As you can guess this story is a treasure trove of homages as well as just a jolly good romp. Treat yourself to this joyride.” – Media Junkie
“Funny, extremely well-written, shor t and sweet. All those words come to mind after reading this little masterpiece.” – zjordi
“A delightful mix of comedy and conundrums.” – SF Revu

Great fun.,
Highly recommended for Wodehouse-fans,
Smart, funny, well written.
This is the 2nd of currently four books; though there is some continuity, they can be read in any order. I’m currently reading and very much enjoying the third one.
Five Stars,
