No Comfort for the Lost is the first book in Nancy’s A Mystery of Old San Francisco series of books. The book focuses on a British-born woman named Celia Davies who married an Irishman that took her to San Francisco. Shortly after, he disappeared and was presumed dead. Celia is determined to make things work and partnered with her half-Chinese cousin Barbara and her opinionated housekeeper Addie to open a free medical clinic for women who have nowhere else to go. One day, one of her patients is murdered and her brother-in-law is accused of the crime. Detective Nicholas Greaves is on the case, but he’ll have help in the form of Celia who keeps getting herself into dangerous situations.
Nancy also writes the character of Bess Ellyott and the first book is called Searcher of the Dead. Bess is an herbalist in Tudor England. She’s a widow and fled London after the murder of her husband. She knows her husband was murdered, but not who did it. When her brother-in-law is found dangling from a tree, she knows that it’s no suicide. Bess is convinced that there is a killer out to destroy her family.
