The Iron Duke/ Meljean Brook / 378p

After the Iron Duke freed England from Horde control, he instantly became a national hero. Now Rhys Trahaern has built a merchange empire on the power-and fear-of his name. When a dead body is dropped from an airship onto his doorstep, bringing Dectective Inspector Mina Wentworth into his dangerous world, he intends to make her his next possession.

This book, set in a world where Europe is a vast forest of zombies and most of the richest British citizens fled England to the safety of the United States, was a great mix of steampunk, mystery, romance and horror. I am definitely checking out the author's other titles and hoping that she will write more about the fascinating characters in future books.

This was an honorable mention title for the Fantasy category of the RUSA Reading List.
