I loved the first book in this series, and had hoped for a second. Yes, I admit to scouring Netgalley once a month to see!

So, was thrilled, not only when it appeared, but I was given approval to read an ARC. I was not disappointed.

This is a fun Regency mystery thriller and frolic reminiscent of Marion Chesney’s (aka MC Beaton’s) work. There is the gorgeous attention to detail of the era, the ways of the Bon Ton, and the frustrations of women constricted by them. There is some light hearted sarcastic banter, trust, friendships, the darker side of humanity, and mystery all mixed together to create this wonderful historical crime fiction novel.

Thoroughly enjoyable, highly recommend. Definitely a series to buy, read, enjoy, and tell your friends about.
