Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Lord by Celeste Connally

dark lighthearted mysterious medium-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

3.25

A cozy mystery plus Regency romance. The spinster protagonist is slightly naive, very headstrong, but generally clever and fun. I also enjoyed the side characters, particularly a young dog trainer, an imperious lady of the Ton, and an eager young urchin. The mystery gets surprisingly dark with a creepy main villain but is apt for the time. Both the worldbuilding and the cliffhanger ending (which did not surprise me) really set up the series well.
