The Case of the Masquerade Mob (Caster & Fleet Mysteries Book 4) Kindle Edition
Who is behind the mask?
Life has settled down for Connie and Katherine. Connie is enjoying life as a new mother, while Katherine is working solo for the Department. When they accept invitations to a charity masked ball, they anticipate nothing but a fun evening out.
The event changes everything, as Katherine is abruptly dismissed for attending and Connie is asked to investigate the sudden death of a friend who was involved in organising it. Caster and Fleet are back on the case.
However, things do not go smoothly. Another unexpected death occurs, and when the duo probe further they risk putting both themselves and their families in peril, as the case moves uncomfortably close to home...
How far must Katherine and Connie go to solve the case and clear their names?
The Case of the Masquerade Mob is the fourth book in the Caster & Fleet mystery series, set in 1890s London.

Liz Hedgecock grew up in London, England, did an English degree, and then took forever to start writing. After several years working in the National Health Service, some short stories crept into the world. A few even won prizes. Then the stories started to grow longer...
Now Liz travels between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, murdering people. To be fair, she does usually clean up after herself.
Liz’s reimaginings of Sherlock Holmes, her Pippa Parker cozy mystery series, and the Caster & Fleet Victorian mystery series (with Paula Harmon) are available in ebook and paperback.
Liz lives in Cheshire with her husband and two sons, and when she’s not writing or child-wrangling you can usually find her reading, messing about on Twitter, or cooing over stuff in museums and art galleries. That's her story, anyway, and she's sticking to it.
Further info lurks at http://lizhedgecock.wordpress.com. For bite-sized pieces, follow Liz on Twitter at @lizhedgecock.

Paula Harmon was born in north London but her life as a country girl began at eighteen months when the family moved out, trailing slowly westwards from small town to village before settling in South Wales when she was eight.
Her writing life started with “Clanger” fan fiction and making up stories to act out with a kindred spirit. These largely involved flying unicorns. In later Welsh years, she wandered lonely as a … well, lonely person, in woods and streams and wrote about portals to another world and mysterious woodland spirits. But her greatest love was for historical fiction and mysteries and now she's writing her own.
With no clear idea what she wanted to be when she grew up apart from a writer, she graduated from Chichester University (Bishop Otter College) with a BA in English Literature and a vague idea that, after a bit of life experience, if all else failed, she’d become a teacher, even though she had never grown taller than the average ten year old. Whatever else happened, she was determined NOT to become a civil servant like her mother and be able to talk in form numbers.
At her first job interview, she answered “where do you see yourself in 10 years” with “writing” as opposed to “progressing in your company.” She didn’t get that job. She tried teaching and realised the one thing the world did not need was another bad teacher. Somehow or other she subsequently ended up as a civil servant and if you need to know a form number, she is your woman.
Her short stories include dragons, angst ridden teenagers, portals and civil servants (though not all in the same story - yet). Perhaps all the life experience was worth it in the end.
She lives in Dorset with her husband, has two adult children..

- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021Connie and Katherine accept invites to a masked ball not knowing that the event will have disastrous results for them and their family's.
Both Katherine and James are dismissed from their jobs, Connie's mom is basically osterized from the titled elite.
But it's not until Connie is asked to investigate the death of a friend who organized the event that things turned dangerous.
Caster and Fleet are on the job, and nothing will stop them from getting to the truth.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019Another good read. Okay not my favourite topic of the opium dens that sprung up with the travel to the East. Plus the life of the working class and the fate of women who had been left on their own and the things they had to do to survive.
Married life is suiting both young women, although Connie with a new baby has stopped her involvement at The Department. However they are pulled into an investigation after the death of a young man. Who apparently committed suicide after a successful ball in aid of orphans. After a letter from a close friend they are sucked even further in. Opium dens, blackmail, murder, a young baby girl, slander, being ostracised by polite society, losing their jobs and a stabbing. Can they piece everything together and find the person behind it all? Will the police believe them? Will she ever fulfil her own desire for a baby?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2019Well written and full of humor for those like me who like lighthearted mysteries, in the vein of the "Mrs Jeffries"series by Emily Brightwell . or the "Victorian Detective" series by Carol Hedges. There are plot twists enough to keep you interested, but mostly it is the lives and families of two Victorian women who find that living and loving are the same for everyone, rich or poor. I totally recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really quite hard to put down
You'll find no spoilers here, ladies and gents. I'm just going to say that I got so engrossed in this instalment of the Caster and Fleet series that my in-laws accused me of being antisocial while I was on holiday.
Top tip: don't read this book when you're expected to interact meaningfully with other humans because you will resent time spent between chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stand and Deliver
Fourth book in the Caster and Fleet cosy mystery series set in Victorian London- where better for Connie and Katherine to solve a few mysteries? The characters have developed, Connie is now a mother and Katherine is a newlywed working woman. The writing includes entertaining nods to the period; there are a few "doffs' and a couple of 'scoffs' plus amusing reactions to social conventions. Of course, there are crimes to solve, but I won't spoil! What I enjoyed the most is that Connie and Katherine always end up in some sort of Victorian fancy dress; masquerade mobs!

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome return
Having assumed the first three books were to be the only three books, it was a pleasure to discover otherwise. The lightness of touch, characterisation and insights into late Victorian life combine with quick moving action, forming a satisfying whole.
