This was a historical romance with a mystery in it. I enjoyed it because the characters were interesting especially the heroine who is thrown into prison. It did have a happy ending and kept me wanting to know what happens.

I expected a historical mystery and got a historical romance with a touch of mystery.
The books is entertaining and enjoyable.
The mystery was a bit confused but the plot was interesting and the cast of characters well written.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

After a very long time I read a book that was light hearted and a happily ever after in the nicest possible way.

Dolly is to be married in a week's time. She did not think the visit to the rector is going to end with her being arrested and ending up in Holloway. Finding the rector bashed on his head ended up her being the arrested, despite that there is no reason whatsoever that she was the attacker - courtesy of covered up evidence on the part of the char woman of the church and the officiousness and stupidity of the detective in charge.

This was a mystery murder (not much mystery actually, just botched up) a nice touch of old fashioned romancing, and ideal for a Sunday afternoon.

All ends well. Dolly does get married and we have a lovely wedding!
