The start of this story would seem to suggest a Christmas themed story and yet! Who knew that accepting a lift with a neighbour would have such unexpected consequences.

Once again Lady Worthing and Stapleton Henderson work together looking to identify the murderer as soon as they can. So many things are not what they seem and that certainly keeps it interesting. There are plenty of twists and turns and some quite unexpected revelations.

We certainly get to hear a little more about Lord Worthing in this one and so I'm expecting the next book to move this personal storyline forward. It should make for interesting read.

I found this particular storyline just a little on the dark side for me so it became a three out of five

With thanks for #Netgalley, Kensington Books and the author for my Advance Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.

Riley does Regency so well. I was truly transported through time. The cast of characters were interesting and the dialogue crisp. Lady Worthing's investigations and peril are always worth the ride.

Another strong murder mystery for Abbie to solve with Stapleton. A houseparty gone wrong and a whodunit with twists and turns.

Exciting, fast paced while still adressing the underlying issues of an abandoned wife of color who is smart, independent but looking for more.

Kindle Copy for Review from NetGalley and Kensington Publishing.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Accepting a ride out of London, Lady Worthing becomes an excuse for her escort not to attend a dinner party. But a sudden blizzard has them stranded at the dinner party where women are not really wanted at an official magistrate home. Death soon turns up with a nursery rhyme quote as tension mount among the guests. Rill justice be served in this case or is something more is going on? A compelling read that will keep you guessing.

The story flowed well and the characters were well developed. I recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.
