When a tragic accident turns out to be murder, Lady Katherine finds herself embroiled in an investigation tainted by lies and deception.

With conflicting witness testimony, mysterious neighbors who saw the impossible, and a secret someone would kill for, Katherine must dig into the dark side of polite London society to uncover the truth.

Naturally, she has help. Maybe too much help. Along with her loyal maid, Harriet, her pilfering pug, Emma, and her Bow Street Runner friend Lyle, Katherine is joined by budding investigator Pru Burwick and her eccentric Scottish fiance, Lord Annandale. Katherine wouldn't mind their help so much if Annandale didn't keep bringing the insufferable Captain Wayland along.

When the investigation takes a disturbing turn, Katherine gets a lead that indicates someone close to her may not be telling the truth, and she must make a tough decision. Protecting her loved one means keeping a secret from her closest allies. Hopefully it does not also mean letting a killer go free.

Without friends you have nothing.

Katherine finds herself investigating a possible murder at the behest of her father. This one is extremely poignant as the body is a good friend of Katherines step mother who just might have a few secrets of her own.

This series is good fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2019

I really like this author and have read other books by her. This series is fun, although sometimes the chances the main character (Lady Katharine) takes seem foolhardy and very unlikely, as are the plots. But I do like mysteries taking place in early 19th cent. High Society. These aren't as well-written as those by Anne Perry though.

Totally ashamed of myself...

Reviewed in the United States on 6 December 2018

I've read all three books in this series. What I learned from book three was similar to what I discovered in book one: everyone in these books, especially the heroine, is exceedingly stupid. Thank goodness they exist in a time where they get help to dress; otherwise I don't think they'd survive.

Now, you might ask yourself, why in the world would I read these books if I felt that way?? Truth be told, I'm not quite sure of the answer myself. Call it desperation as I wait for other authors to publish. Call it willingness to try something new since I'm not a big fan of "cozy" mysteries. You might even call it giving benefit of the doubt since I am a sucker for a good Regency mystery. Unfortunately, none of this helped my sense of utter buyer's remorse when I read these books - other than the fact that I managed to kill an hour or two.

Lady Katherine Irvine, our protagonist, is supposed to be the Regency example of an independent woman a la Jane Austen's Emma. However, she comes across more like Shakespeare's Katerina in "Taming of the Shrew." She's stubborn, single-minded, and arrogant. She is oblivious to the world around her and, despite being a "detective" (I really have to use this word in the loosest sense when talking about this woman), she misses clues and can't read a person worth a damn. It's like a dog looking for a bone, except a dog has the sense to stop looking when it's evident the bone isn't there (which means the heroine's pug, Emma, is a better developed character than the heroine herself). Most annoyingly, she constantly insists that she has to solve mysteries on her own. She can't, though, because she's so full of herself that she's missed something obvious and someone has to point it out to her (sometimes Emma). The last time I got this irritated with a protagonist, my Kindle almost went flying across the room. It was close here too.

The characters are ridiculous, the stories are banal, if half-cooked (see "The Baffling Burglaries of Bath"), and the historical detail is practically nil. Research must have consisted of an hour's time on the Internet and then a period of binge watching Downton Abbey. Even the "curses" the protagonist uses are limited to what Yosemite Sam would use on a bad day. I get that these are cozy mysteries and they are, as a rule, a bit more "family-friendly" than most mysteries. I'm not opposed to this. However, while I can't be sure "tarnation" wasn't used during the Regency era, I am sure (thanks to other authors who HAVE done their research) that other coarse, yet not-so-coarse, language did exist. The repetition and lack of any real historical flavor hints at the laziness of the authors and suggests a certain ignorance on the part of the readers.

Cozy mystery readers, you can do better than this. You deserve better than this.

Instead of 1 detective we now have a group

Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2019

While attending the Ice Ball, Lady Rockland falls from the balcony above and Lady Katherine is quick to begin investigating especially when she learns that Lady Rockland was a friend of her step-mother, Susanna. There is conflicting witness testimony, two ladies in a dark cloak and this now “group” out there acting as detectives to solve the murder. Lady Katherine, her maid Harriet, her pug Emma, Bow Street Runner friend Lyle, her recent matchmaking success Prudence and her finance Lord Annandale and it wouldn’t be complete if Captain Wayland wasn’t along. I personally think it will be at least two more books before we know why Lady Katherine’s father doesn’t approve of Captain Wayland. Is this the best that could have been written probably not, but I still want to see how this group will solve more mysteries and murder, and I like both author’s so for me I will keep reading.
