I enjoyed this audiobook SO MUCH! I loved the plot-it felt very original and unpredictable! I also loved the fast-pace of the romance and book itself! the narrator did an incredible job of bringing out each characters personality! and ugh-Alexander is the sweetest and most charming MMC!! loved it!

The book itself was interesting, but there wasn't enough romance for me to consider it a pure romance book. I loved how the FMC was so independent that she had to realize that she could love the MMC while still being herself. I also appreciated that the MMC didn't wallow in his struggles with his club foot and family.

The narration left a lot to be desired. I felt that this would have been much better as a dual narration, since there were many points where the MMC was speaking, it was weird to hear that in a female voice.

Set against the backdrop of 1700s England, this narrative embarks on a whimsical journey to locate a missing person. Georgina Harrison's cousin, Percy, has disappeared along with her archaeological treasure, prompting Georgina to undertake the task of finding him. Assisted by Alexander Lovett, their journey unfolds with unexpected twists, including an unforeseen attraction between them. Midway through the book the mystery of where Percy disappeared to takes a backseat to the developing romance between Georgina and Alexander.

For readers who prefer historical fiction based on stories grounded in strict factual timelines and events, this may not be the ideal choice. However, despite the narrative's occasional ventures into the implausible, it remains highly entertaining. Once I got used to the unusual pacing of the narrative I began to enjoy it more. The story is enriched by a diverse and vibrant cast of characters, many of whom reappear from the series' first installment, "Lady Charlotte Always Gets Her Man." I recommend reading the previous book first, but this book can definitely be enjoyed as a standalone story.

Marisa Calin narrated the audiobook flawlessly. She had a large cast of characters to portray and did an amazing job voicing the many different tones and personalities. She kept the pacing light and fun, just as this story should be told. I highly recommend listening to this audiobook, it is fabulous!

Many thanks to Hachette Audio for providing me with an audiobook of this delightful book through Netgalley. All opinions in this review are my own.

A massive thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this audiobook in exchange for my honest review. I can’t say enough amazing things about this book! Any fan of Manda Collins or Bridgerton or anything along those lines will absolutely adore this book. Georgina is adorable and amazing as is every other member of their little gang. I am really hoping this will be an ongoing series and to hear more about the archeological side of Georgina’s investigations as they definitely take a secondary seat to the rest of the action. Also, the key ideas of consent and the eye towards having a productive and diverse discourse within an older time period is really well done!

My first experience with this author was mixed. This book is a slow-burn romance, filled with intrigue, humor, and lively banter, but some characters, particularly the heroine’s half-brother, the hero's parents and the villains, were, well villains. Miss H. is in the middle of a dastardly plot hatched by her half-brother. I could have done with less pearl clutching and wished for more romance. The mystery got lost in the histrionics and absurd chicken humor. The narration by Marisa Calin was a tad over the top with the angst element at times.

Georgina Harrington only wants to dig for antiquities and write articles, which her cousin has to claim as his own as he is a man. She is quite happy on the shelf until her half-brother decides to marry her off. Then there is the disappearance of her cousin, Percy (her beard). As it turns out Georgina's intended is Percy's best friend Alexander who is heir to a dukedom. His parents are anxious to marry him off too (he has a disability). Georgina and Alexander join forces to find Percy and their search unearths some nasty goings on in the neighborhood.

My thanks to the Publisher and the Author for providing a complimentary audio Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this novel via NetGalley. This is my fair, honest and personal review. All opinions are mine alone and were not biased in any way.

I’m sure this would’ve been different if I hadn’t listened to the audiobook, but I wasn’t a fan of this story. I didn’t connect with the characters and couldn’t hold my attention span to the plot. It was hard to get invested.

I completed this book and swirls of British accents, dukes, more romance than mystery and I liked it.
Georgina was a wonderful lady, impressing with her courage and wits.
Alexander was a true gentleman and their working together to reveal the mystery of missing Percy was both funny, exciting and completely romantic.

Thank you to Forever for the advance reader copy and to Hachette Audio for the advance listener copy. These opinions are my own.

Georgina does amazing scholarly research on her archaeological finds. And she lets her cousin Percy take the credit, so she can publish about them. It all works okay until he talks when he shouldn't. And suddenly there are a lot of incorrect rumors about her latest dsicovery, and Percy has gone missing.

This was completely over-the-top, but in a really fun way. I had to suspend disbelief throughout the entire plot. There were coincidences and scenarios that just would never have happened. But take those and add in ridiculous animals, and the whole things was such a delightful romp.

This book puts the comedy way before the historical romance. But it was sweet and featured fun characters, great queer rep, and a wonderful found family that grows with each book in the series. And through it all, it delivers a fairly biting and definitely currently relevant social commentary.

Marisa Calin narrated the audiobook beautifully. I could not put it down.

Georgina Harrington, a secret academic and antiquities scholar, is under the thumb of her awful brother and his wife. She also can't publish her scholarly work under her own name as she is a woman, so she and her cousin Percy have an agreement where she does all the research and writing, and he takes it to the masses. Georgina's brother is set on her marrying, while she is dead set against it. When she makes an important discovery, Percy goes missing, and Georgina's intended, with whom she'd had a previous meeting with, must find Percy while also fighting their feelings for one another.

While I didn't read the first book in this series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. This was an exciting, funny, and fun jaunt through George I's London. The mystery was fun, the settings exciting, and the romance was perfect. This was my first Violet Marsh book and I liked her writing style and will be reading more of her.

This is my first book I've read by Violet Marsh, and it was an absolute delight. Our Dear Miss H Is On The Case is a wonderful blend of cosy mystery, and regency romance.

Georgina Harrington is an amateur archeologist. She has just found the most important artifact in her career, and entrusts it to cousin Percy. When he goes missing Georgina sets out to find him. She asks Percy's best friend for help. Chaos ensues.

Thank you to Netgalley and Hachette Audio for the advanced listener copy. The narrator Marisa Calin did an amazing job, she kept my interest throughout.

I highly recommend this book, it has wonderful characters, a sweet love story, fun situations and an interesting mystery. This is definitely a 5 star read.

loved the first book in this series and this was also enjoyable, all the side characters and quirks return and it was fun and enjoyable.

Gallop through the English countryside and throughout London as Miss H. searches for her missing cousin and embarks on a grand adventure.

✨ Book Review: OUR DEAR MISS H. IS ON THE CASE by Violet Marsh ✨

Miss Georgina Harrington was once a wallflower and is now considered an old maid without marriage prospects. But she doesn’t care. She carries on her father’s work unearthing antiquities from her family land and publishing her findings (under her cousin’s name). When her cousin goes missing though, everything is upended.

This is a fun Regency-era mystery that’ll keep you guessing and a closed-door romance that delivers great character depth and sizzling tension. There are lots of opportunities to root for the underdog and ample comedic relief.

Violet Marsh's Our Dear Miss H Is On the Case is a blend of Regency romance and cozy mystery, a perfect treat for fans of both Bridgerton's swoon-worthy drama and Miss Marple's astute sleuthing. Though this is the second installment in the series, I jumped in without reading the first and was immediately captivated by Marsh's vividly drawn world. The introduction to the quirky cast of characters, including the delightful menagerie of animals, was seamless and engaging.

Georgina and Alexander's investigation into her missing cousin Percy and a valuable archaeological find quickly escalates into a more complex web of intrigue, interwoven with a classic Regency marriage plot. Marsh balances the romantic tension between Georgina and Alexander with the unfolding mystery, keeping the reader thoroughly entertained. I listened to an advanced copy of the audiobook, and the narrator's performance brought the Regency era to life with needed inflections and intonations.

Our Dear Miss H Is On the Case is a delightful escape, offering a perfect blend of historical romance, mystery, and a touch of mayhem. If you're seeking a lighthearted and engaging read with a dash of wit and a whole lot of charm, check out this book.

🗣️Narrator: Marisa Calin voices all the characters with standouts from Georgina, Alexander, and Percy. The reading style brought the text to life, and the author and narrator worked together perfectly. The pacing and flow allowed me to get lost in the story. The narrator paused and announced new chapters and there was a table of contents which helped me follow along.

🙏🏾Thanks to NetGalley, Forever (Grand Central Publishing), Hachette Audio | Forever, and Violet Marsh for this ARC & ALC! I voluntarily give my honest review, and all opinions are my own.

I truly enjoyed the narration of this novel! I find a great narrator can allow for the book to be changed to any speed and still provide a clear retelling of the story without taking anything away from the experience. I enjoyed the different character voices especially the animals sounds for the various trouble-making furry friends of the characters.

Our Dear Miss H. Is on the Case gave the perfect cozy romance with mystery vibes. It was a quaint story which had me looking forward to reading more by Violet Marsh. I loved Georgina's strength as well as Alexander's determination. They made a great couple not only in the romantic sense but in partners to help find out what had happened to Percy. I loved Alexander's confidence in his abilities as a sportsman and how he wasn't going to allow his club foot and the horrid surgeries his parent's inflicted on him to stop him from enjoying life. I also truly enjoyed the found family of the coffeehouse and the furry friends whose antics made the book even more hilarious. I am also voting with Alexander in the naming of Fluffas Legatis!

This is the second book in this series.
Georgina Harrighton lives in an era where women are not taken seriously. She survived a few social seasons which she believes were a waste of her time. She is a brilliant archaeologist; she inherited her love of excavating from her father. She has written several articles and found several artifacts but is unable to ask for credit for her accomplishments. She turns to her cousin Percy to present and take credit for her work. She should not have trusted him. The world knows him as a talented archaeologist (which is a real joke). When Percy disappears, Georgina knows he is in danger. She turns to Alexander Lovett, Percy’s best friend, for assistance in finding him.
Georgina’s brother is attempting to marry her off. He has arranged a marriage to a man she has never met and doesn’t want to meet. Alexander has similar feelings he has no desire for an arranged marriage. However, he finds himself falling for Georgina; he likes that she is brilliant, a free thinker, and willing to take chances. Georgina is attracted to Alexander. What she doesn’t realize is he is the man her brother wants her to marry.
I like the main characters. Alexander was born with a club foot. He was forced to have surgery after surgery, but the results were minimal to non-existent. His father wanted a perfect son. He was bullied at school. Alexander has learned how to smile and be pleasant even when belittled and mistreated.


Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

What a cute book!!! If you enjoy historical romances and rom-coms, you will love Our Dear Miss H. is on the Case! Georgina Harrington is an archeologist who makes an amazing find, only known to a few! This is including her cousin, who soon goes missing with HER find! Alexander is her cousin’s friend who steps in to help Georgina solve her cousin’s predicament. Georgina and Alexander both find themselves unweaving betrothal plans and also threats to the King. This was a fun book and really good audiobook! The characters were interesting and the plot was so fun to listen to. I can definitely see the relation to Enola Holmes, so if you’re a fan of that you will love this!

Big fan of this one! I loved that this followed a strong and intelligent woman of this era. I believe that these women existed in our history and hid who they were because of reputation or not being taken seriously. I will be honest, it took me a couple of tries to get past the initial chapters. It was hard to keep up with the narrator with some of the names and her brother vs. her cousin and if one was evil or not. I very much liked how the author built the dynamic of the two main characters and allowed for both character development but healing for them both. I think this book sets up a wonderful sequel and I cannot wait to read more!

Our Dear Miss H. Is on the Case by Violet Marsh
Second book in the series, after Lady Charlotte Gets Her Man. Historical mystery and romantic comedy. Diversity in physical form. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Georgina Harrington is an archaeologist. As a woman, she’s forced to use her cousin’s name for her antiquity appraisal business. When he disappears with a valuable discovery, she turns to a friend of his, Alexander Lovett, to help find her cousin.
The future Duke of Falcondale doesn’t want to spend time with Georgina. His manipulative and cruel parents have chosen her as a potential future bride. For most arguments, he would just grin like a fool and move on. But the lovely Georgina needs his help. Together they go on an adventure to find her cousin and the missing artifact. The investigation goes deeper than either of them imagined.

🎧 I alternated between an ebook and an audiobook for this story. The narration is performed by Marisa Calin in a delightfully soft British accent. Her performance brings a lightness of adventure to the reading which made the romance and comedy come alive.
I slowed my playback just a bit to 1.5 to accommodate the accent until I was used to it.

I appreciated the less than perfect Alexander for his uniqueness and acceptance of science to explain his birth defect. I felt bad for everything that his father put him through (off page, in the past) to try to fix it, and admired his ability to live life to the fullest as best he could.
As usual, also upset by the lack of power or legal options for women. Sigh. Can’t change the past.

Loved the rooster craze! Hilarious.

I was gifted a copy of this from NetGalley and publisher Hachette Audio.
