Lady Katherine doesn’t want to marry, and she made a wager with her father, a detective, that if she could solve the Pink Ribbon Killer case by her 25th birthday, she would win her dowry.
After the murders ended the London Season early, there is only one house party before everyone goes to their country estates. Luckily for Lady Katherine, she has the perfect cover for the event, as a matchmaker. Lady Katherine and her charge flock to the last house party; her charge is eager to find a suitable husband, and Lady Katherine spends her time looking for clues and trying to solve the case. Oh, and her dog, Emma, is in tow, causing chaos.

I didn’t really enjoy this book at all. It was a short enough book that I finished it, but I probably won’t be reading any more in the series.
Lady Katherine is a self proclaimed amateur sleuth, but is constantly surprised by people sneaking up on her. One of the victim’s diaries is stolen right from under her nose by another woman at the house party after reading it in the garden! Lady Katherine also seemingly forgets her charge and her cover at every turn. It was quite frankly exhausting.
