Thanks to the author for the eARC; all opinions are my own. 

I would seriously love to know how Lynn Ora up with the ideas for the books in this series, and the companion Verity Lark series, because they are so interesting and creative and detailed and I love it all.

In this one, Beatrice is getting ready to remove to the country estate and continues to feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities of running a huge manor, finds out that a friend has gone ahead and issued invitations to a house party at said manor without telling Beatrice, and also needs to investigate, at the behest of London’s notorious criminal mastermind, the murder of her husband’s cousin.

And of course, she must find time to relax in her office of rout cake enjoyment.

In addition to murder, there’s forgeries and theft and so much more.

If you enjoy the Veronica Speedwell series, I highly recommend trying out this series!
