Praise for Penny For Your Secrets:
"Readers looking for atmospheric mystery set in the period following the Great War will savor the intricate plotting and captivating details of the era."
—Library Journal (Starred Review)
“Action-filled…Huber offers a well-researched historical and a fascinating look at the lingering aftermath of war.”
— Publishers Weekly
“No sooner are Verity Kent and her dashing but troubled husband, Sidney, back from solving a mystery in Belgium ( Treacherous Is the Night, 2018) than they are confronted with one at home in London…Touching details of the Kents’ struggle to overcome Sidney’s anguish add to the stellar mystery here, making this a great read for fans of the series and for all who enjoy Downton Abbey–era fiction.”
—Booklist
“The moment I read Huber’s first novel in her Lady Darby series... I knew I’d discovered an author worth following. The Verity Kent series proves she can bring both the 1920s and 1830s back to life with panache. With a perfect blend of murder, mystery, history, romance, and powerful heroines, Huber has yet to disappoint. If you’re a fan of historical fiction and you haven’t put her on your permanent pre-order list, you’ve made a grave mistake that should be remedied immediately.” -- Criminal Element
“This is a fine historical mystery series that will not disappoint.”
—Historical Novel Society
“A cool mix of historical and mystery that will satisfy...fans of the genre.” --Parkersburg News & Sentinel
Praise for Anna Lee Huber's previous Verity Kent mysteries:
Treacherous is the Night:
"A thrilling mystery that supplies its gutsy heroine with plenty of angst-ridden romance."
— Kirkus Reviews
“[A] splendid sequel....Huber combines intricate puzzles with affecting human drama.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Masterful….Just when you think the plot will zig, it zags. Regardless of how well-versed you may be in the genre, you’ll be hard-pressed to predict this climax….Deeply enjoyable…just the thing if you’re looking for relatable heroines, meatier drama, and smart characters with rich inner lives.”
—Criminal Element
"Huber is an excellent historical mystery writer, and Verity is her best heroine. Sidney and Verity are a formidable couple when they work together, but they are also very real. They don’t leap straight back into life before the war but instead face many obstacles and struggles as they readjust to married life and post-war life. Nonetheless, the love between Sidney and Verity is real and true, and the way that Huber creates their re-blossoming love is genuine. Topped off with a gripping mystery, this will not disappoint."
—Historical Novel Society
This Side of Murder
“Engrossing...Evocative historical details complement the well-drawn characters. The intricate plot builds to a surprising conclusion.”
— Publishers Weekly

“Huber paints a compelling portrait of the aftermath of World War I, and show the readers how devastating the war was for everyone in England…I am looking forward to reading many more of Verity Kent’s adventures.”

“A smashing and engrossing tale of deceit, murder and betrayal set just after World War I. . . . Anna Lee Huber has crafted a truly captivating mystery here.”
