The title is from an old proverb, where you're too busy looking out for the serpent and so step on the scorpion (or vice versa). Here, enjoy the proverb as Ursula Marlow travels to Egypt and becomes embroiled in international labor intrigues and of course, murder.

Clare Langley-Hawthorne's The Serpent and the Scorpion was published by Scribners in 2008. Set in Edwardian England, Ursula Marlow refuses to bow to public expectations and lives an independent, intellectual life. Langley-Hawthorne's meticulous approach to historical detail makes the mystery a delightful and informative read.

Clare Langley-Hawthorne was a guest of the Ashland Mystery series in September 2009. Ashland Mystery was sponsored in 2009 by Bookwagon New and Used Books, Friends of the Ashland Public Library and Standing Stone Brewing Company.
