“April is the cruellest month” in T.S. Eliot’s 1921 poem The Waste Land because, as spring brought signs of new life and renewal, Europe was in a crumbling, dying mess in the wake of World War I. And the poet wasn't doing much better.
Wow. What a time. I love history and boy, did I fall down a rabbit hole digging into this time period.
An Elegy for an Enemy launches on April 11 at 3.99 but you can preorder your copy for only 0.99 before it reverts to full price.

“Didn’t you hear the rumors before coming here?”
Emmaline West arrives at Ravenswood Hall feeling she has nothing left to live for. She's lame after a bout of polio; she's lost her home, her parents and now her beloved sister, Selena, is dead.
She holds one man responsible: Garrick Coleridge, her sister's fiancé. He may have survived the Front, but Emmaline is going to make sure that he doesn't survive her.
But Ravenswood Hall and Captain Coleridge are not what she expected. When a member of the household is murdered, Emmaline is plunged into the shadowy lives of the Coleridge clan.
The murder is only the beginning. Like peeling back the layers of an onion, the secrets of Ravenswood Hall are revealed and no one is safe. Is it one killer or several? Emmaline enters into an uneasy alliance with Garrick to find out - and to stay alive.
