Finally finished. Not for me. I was super bored and utterly uninvested. Idk if it’s because I jumped into the middle of a series, but each one is supposed to be stand alone.
I just didn’t care. Could barely tell you the plot. Giving 2 stars because the narration was good.

Alas, another promising series devolves into progressively longer and more boring books. This book was the end of my patience. I was bored out of my wits and even the writing appears to have gotten worse, or perhaps it's just the fact that nobody bothers to edit these books anymore, as the interminable entirely unnecessary length already implies. Ugh.

Rosalind Thorne mysteries are multilayered and well written stories that feature a mystery but also describe how an unmarried woman lived in the Regency era.
Rosalind is a complex character: she knows the rules of the Ton, is a sort of problem solver and a very likeable characters.
This story was riveting and entertaining, there's a lot of twists and there're elements of spy story.
I think it's the best in this series so far.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

4 stars = Great! Might re-read.
I'd probably give the story here a 3.5, but I love the characters in this series so much, I'm bumping it up to four. I appreciated getting a story focused on Rosalind's father which might give her some closure on things. The wrinkle with her nemesis wanting her help to clear his name was great. I'd love to see some movement in Rosalind's love life now that this piece of her story has been resolved to an extent. This is a must-read series for me. Historical fans should check it out - but I'd start at the beginning rather than dropping in here. (LGBTQ+)
