Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord
by Celeste Connally
I read Celeste Connally’s book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord this weekend and it did NOT disappoint!
It has so many of the things I like in a mystery:
📖 historical
📖 Strong female lead
📖 great friends
📖 a love interest
📖 an intriguing mystery with a satisfying conclusion
And this one has DOGS!!! 🐕
Lady Petra is a great character. Her fiancé passed away suddenly and she announced that she would not get married and would be a spinster. Of course, it’s the Regency period so this is BIG NEWS. How dare a young woman not hand over her money, property, body and souls to a man?!?!?! Thankfully, Petra has people who support her.
Except there are some in Society who don’t like Petra and they don’t like other women who dare to be independent and they keep disappearing, with friends told that the woman has died.
Petra takes it upon herself to start investigating when she learns that a dear friend may not actually be dead and she is helped with her bestie and her estranged friend, Duncan Shawcross.
If you like the Veronica Speedwell series, the Wrexford and Sloane series, and other historicals with a mystery, try this book. I hope you like it!
