Praise for Anna Loan-Wilsey and A Lack of Temperance

“Ms. Loan-Wilsey writes with vivid imagery that immediately brings to life the late nineteenth century in this engrossing and thoroughly enjoyable tale. Miss Hattie Davish is a force to be reckoned with, and I’m eagerly awaiting more of her adventures.”

—Kate Kingsbury

“Fans of historical mysteries should be delighted with this debut.”

—Mystery Scene

“A wonderful read from a welcome addition to the genre. This one shouldn’t be missed—it has it all!”

—Emily Brightwell

“A Lack of Temperance shows no lack of a fresh setting, spunky amateur detective, fascinating characters, and intriguing mystery. Anna Loan-Wilsey has a real talent for pulling the reader into a past world of both charm and chaos. Heroine Hattie and her typewriter certainly travel well! I can’t wait to read her next adventure.”

—Karen Harper, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Mercy

“Eureka Springs is usually a peaceful spa resort, but when Hattie Davish arrives with her typewriter she finds the town in an uproar. Temperance ladies are attacking saloons and her new employer is missing. This is a fast-paced and fascinating read, peopled with feisty females, giving us a glimpse of how far women were actually prepared to go for the cause.”

—Rhys Bowen, Agatha and Anthony award–winning author of the Molly Murphy Mysteries and the bestselling Royal Spyness series
