A Terribly Nasty Business is the sequel to A Most Agreeable Murder by Julie Seales. It has the same humorous, old-timey English vibes that I loved in the first book of the series. The main character, murder and mystery-loving Beatrice, has moved to London to partner up with Inspector Vivek Drake to solve murders and give the city's other inspector, Sir Huxley, some competition. Beatrice quickly learns that London is much more cutthroat than her hometown. The elite men of a group called NAGS are out to clear the city of artists in all forms - mimes, poets, actors, painters, sculptors, etc. Coincidentally, someone has begun murdering the men of NAGS. Beatrice wants to solve these murders, but she's still expected to find and marry a wealthy man and share her wealth with her family. Can she solve the case before the murderer strikes again?
