A brilliant regency read with a most unusual and endearing female lead. Loved Lady Augusta's adventures and troubles and am waiting with bated breath for the next book to come out!

This one took a while to grow on me. Good ensemble of characters and interesting historical bits (sorry it’s Monday and the words aren’t working so well). Not just sweet and light. Compelling pacing across the 3 cases. Looking forward to the next one.
