Author Patrice McDonough at Copperfish Books

Join us at Copperfish Books for an evening with Patrice McDonough, celebrating her latest novel, M**der by Moonrise, the third installment in the Dr. Julia Lewis Mystery series.

Set in Victorian London, M**der by Moonrise follows London’s first woman doctor and a skeptical Scotland Yard detective whose holiday plans are derailed when a murderer begins making threats against the royal family. Rich in historical detail and charged with tension, the novel blends sharp social observation with a fast-moving, gritty mystery that fans of historical crime fiction will love.

Patrice will discuss the real history behind the series, the continuing evolution of Dr. Julia Lewis, and what draws her to this vividly rendered period, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. This event is perfect for readers of historical mysteries, strong female protagonists, and series fiction.
